We need volunteers and interns to join UMD-NEPAL’s Youth Empowerment Program to inspire and encourage Nepal’s
youth. Engage them in community development or give them vital social and
professional skills; you will help to bring positive change to their lives and
to that of their community by participating in youth volunteer program.
UMD-NEPAL launches Youth Club and Life Skills, English and Career Development, and Youth Entrepreneurship projects under Youth Empowerment program with an objective of developing
skillful youth manpower in our community sites by the help of our local
and international volunteers and encourage them to participate in socio-economic
activities of the society.
The youth of Nepal face significant challenges as they
emerge into adulthood. Many leave school without their School Leaving
Certificate (SLC); the national pass rate for 2013 being a miserable 41.57
percent, 6 percent lower than the previous year. Pass or fail,
politically and economically unstable Nepal holds few prospects. Skilled
and unskilled, many leave for foreign countries, casting a black shadow across
the future of Nepal.
UMD-NEPAL’s overriding objective is the
empowerment of marginalized communities, focusing on women and children.
We have been working with Tribeni Rural Municipality since 2013 and have
begun to initiate work in Rukum district, in the Western region.
We believe that youth empowerment of community is essential for the empowerment of
the entire community. They are the immediate future, full of potential to
support community programs, such as Children’s Development and Women’s Empowerment and to develop themselves, given
training and skills.
UMD-NEPAL seeks volunteers and interns to support on our youth volunteer programs and help to develop the social
and professional skills of community youth, helping to build their confidence
to deal with problematic situations and ensuring that they become active in the
community, promoting change and empowerment.
