SCDI Launches New Youth Empowerment Hub in Kogi State

We recently opened a state-of-the-art Youth Empowerment Hub equipped with ICT tools, vocational training rooms, and mentorship spaces. This marks a major step toward our mission to empower youth with practical skills and opportunities.

🔧 What the Hub Offers

The Youth Empowerment Hub is a multipurpose facility that includes:

• ICT Lab: Equipped with modern computers, internet access, and training software to enhance digital literacy and introduce youth to coding, graphic design, and online freelancing.

• Vocational Training Rooms: Dedicated spaces for hands-on learning in fashion design, hairdressing, crafts, electronics repair, and agriculture.

• Business Incubation Support: A mentorship program and workspace for young entrepreneurs with guidance on business planning, marketing, and accessing funding.

• Community Resource Library: A mini-library stocked with career development materials, personal growth books, and academic resources.

• Safe Youth Lounge: A creative and interactive space for peer-to-peer learning, leadership training, and networking events.

🌍 Our Vision for the Hub

The Hub aims to impact over 1,000 youth annually, particularly from low-income and rural communities. By providing access to skills training, mentorship, digital tools, and employment pathways, the center is designed to reduce unemployment and social vulnerability while promoting innovation and entrepreneurship.
