Project Description
For the Youth, By the Youth is a project that provides opportunities for young people in the commonwealth and connects them to resources. Two QCT network members Aliu Toluwani Victor (Upsurge Global) and Onyinye K. Omenugha (Kate Centre for Arts and Creativity & Lawsanaid) came together through the network platform and collaborated to host programs and projects to achieve this objective. This has been done by hosting virtual events featuring social innovators to network and share insights on available opportunities. The team also plans to host more virtual events that will expose participating social innovators to funding, partnership and growth opportunities for their projects.
“Working with a fellow QCT Network member has brought out our creativity, innovation and collaborative spirit. I believe that the more we continue to work together with others, the more our ideas will get clarity and positively impact our communities.”

Outcomes
