Youth In motion camp
Young Achievers Network since its establishment in 2013 has
been tirelessly working to see to it that youths have a platform for
mentorship., charity and advocacy. We have gone to schools (primary, secondary
and higher learning institutions) we have visited childrens home, we have
worked with slum support groups, we have closely worked with local and
international bodies to enhance youth voices and youth actions. These were our
small winnings to ensure that the dreams, goals and visions of our youth are in
motion.
Over time during our interactions with our volunteers,
mentees and mentors we have identified the gap between dreams and actualization,
static plans and rolled out plans, we have met people who have given up on
their destiny, we have interacted with stories and testimonies of failure. But
again we have also met champions built by resilience, determination and focus.
Young people who are doing marvelous things in their 20s and 30s. These are
people who broke the records, dared the undared, focused on the little things
for big wins.
Bringing these two groups together has always been our joy. We
have in several instances done it in our bi monthly cocktails, Forums, social
media conversations etc. But that is not
enough! When we engaged some of our participants, the asked for more; more
time, more youths, more days, more topics and even more speakers. In all
humility as a platform for these young people we took up the challenge and organized
our first ever camp, not because we were experts but because of the kind of
belief our fellow youths have bestowed on us and we promised never to let them
down. So 2nd-4th October 2015 we converged at IYF
headquarters for an experience like no other. With youths drawn from almost all
universities and colleges in Kenya, working class, hustlers and high level
speakers and personalities we did it and that was just but the beginning.
One year later we want to do it same place but with a
different touch, this time round we have opened up to more than 300 young people
from Kenya and outside Kenya to come and be part of the movement. Youth In
Motion camp is not just about spending 3 nights in a place away from your bed, no. Its about
setting those dead dreams, stalled visions and complicated careers into motion.
It’s a journey of inspiration, motivation and rejuvenation. This is where
contacts are exchanged, business deals are made, lifetime opportunities are
carved and your future gets into motion. It’s a place to unwind , have fun and
make it remarkable forever after, because that’s what it means to be young
This year’s Youth In Motion Camp will be held at IYF
Headquarters starting 29th September- 2nd October 2016.
