The programme supports young people aged 18–35 to identify challenges within their local contexts, conduct research, engage with peers and stakeholders, and collaboratively define priorities and solutions. Through workshops, dialogue sessions, mentoring, and collective action, young people are equipped with leadership, decision-making, and civic engagement skills that enable them to actively contribute to their communities. At the same time, the programme works to strengthen confidence among young people that positive change is possible, while encouraging greater recognition among stakeholders of the value of meaningful youth participation in community and decision-making processes.</span></p><br><br><p><span>Youth Connect is delivered in partnership with civil society organisations and national entities to ensure strong local ownership, sustainability, and measurable impact. The programme aims to strengthen the capacity of local partners to design and deliver effective, inclusive, community-based youth programmes through training, mentorship, and continuous support. It promotes inclusive youth participation, ensuring equitable access for diverse groups, including those facing additional barriers to engagement. Through Collective Action Projects (CAPs), young people work alongside CSOs and local stakeholders to design and implement practical solutions to local challenges, while stronger youth networks and alumni engagement help sustain learning, leadership, and collaboration beyond the programme cycle. By fostering trust and stronger collaboration between youth, civil society, local authorities, and community actors, Youth Connect contributes to a more inclusive and enabling environment for civic participation and long-term community development.</span></p><br><br><ol><li><p><span><span>About the role of the </span><span>Lead Master Facilitator and Lead Mentor</span></span></p><br><br></li></ol><br><p><span>The Lead Master Facilitator and Lead Mentor will provide technical leadership, mentoring, and quality assurance across the Youth Connect programme, supporting local partner CSOs, facilitators, and mentors in delivering high-quality youth learning journeys.</span></p><br><br><p><span>The role includes supporting the design and delivery of key programme activities across the full Youth Connect cycle.
