🌟 Empowering Youth through Facilitation Skills: Youth for Life TOT Success! 🌟

Last week, we proudly hosted the Training of Trainers (TOT) under the Youth for Life program! This transformative journey equipped 17 passionate participants with facilitation skills and the tools to create meaningful change in their communities.

What we learned:
📚 Facilitation Skills: Participants mastered techniques to effectively lead sessions, inspire engagement, and guide discussions that spark real action.
🌟 Identifying Youth Assets: Training focused on helping participants uncover the hidden talents and resources within their communities.
💡 Turning Ideas into Impact: Each participant designed and facilitated sessions on how to turn identified youth assets into actionable projects that address pressing community issues while also exploring income-generating opportunities.

Outcomes:
✅ Over the course of the week, participants applied their learnings in hands-on practice, leading powerful sessions that encouraged problem-solving, creativity, and resourcefulness.
✅ These newly trained facilitators are now prepared to guide other youth in implementing projects that tackle challenges like education gaps, waste management, and health awareness, while fostering economic independence.

The energy, innovation, and determination of our TOT graduates have been truly inspiring. Together, they will expand the Youth for Life mission, reaching more young people across Timor-Leste.

💬 Join us in celebrating these incredible changemakers as they take their first steps toward creating lasting impact in their communities.

Press Release:
Empowering Timor-Leste’s Youth Through the Youth for Life Program
Impact Academy and SportImpact proudly introduce Youth for Life, a groundbreaking initiative designed to train and empower young people across Timor-Leste to uncover and develop their hidden talents. This transformative program provides mentorship through innovative sessions such as Self-Asset Mapping, Designing the Bridge to the Future, and Catalyzing Abilities for a Desired Future. By the end of an intensive week-long training, participants identify their unique skills, develop actionable plans, and design community projects that address local challenges.
Successful Collaborations and Tangible Outcomes:
1. October 7-12: In collaboration with CCYC Comoro, Impact Academy trained 21 youth volunteers from organizations such as CCYC, CVTL, YOTS, METO, and GAL. These participants implemented 21 impactful community projects, including:
o English for Kids courses
o Leadership Seminars
o Healthy Relationship and Reproductive Health Socializations
o Recycling Sessions to produce bins
o Yoga and more.
2. November 18-30: Partnering with Sentru Juventude Becora and the local authority of Becora Village, Impact Academy trained 20 young participants. They successfully launched 13 community-driven projects, including:
o English and Math courses
o Tree-planting “Go Green” initiatives
o Public Speaking and Leadership training
o Reproductive Health workshops
o Creative arts programs.
3. December 9-14: Impact Academy conducted the first-ever Youth for Life Training of Trainers (TOT) program with CCYC, graduating 17 facilitators equipped to expand this initiative. These graduates launched 16 impactful community projects, extending the program’s reach to even more young people in Dili and beyond.
Our Impact: To date, Youth for Life has trained over 40 young people in Dili, including 17 certified facilitators who are ready to scale this transformative program to rural communities. These efforts have sparked positive change by addressing pressing community issues, fostering leadership, and building essential skills among Timorese youth.
A Call for Collaboration: We are deeply committed to expanding Youth for Life to reach underserved youth in rural areas of Timor-Leste. However, this mission cannot be achieved alone. We invite NGOs, government agencies, businesses, and other stakeholders to join us in empowering the next generation. Your support — whether through funding, resources, or expertise — will help us bring this life-changing program to more communities in need.
Together, we can unlock the potential of Timor-Leste’s youth and create a brighter, more sustainable future. For more information or partnership opportunities, please contact us. Join us in this journey of transformation!
