Prioritizing Youth Development
Creating Opportunities for a Brighter Future

Ensuring that youth aged 12 and up have agency and are equipped to break the cycle of poverty is a critical part of Compassion’s program and requires locally driven solutions designed with each unique child in mind. Empowering churches to find creative ways to develop the God-given potential of every child in our care is paramount and can involve a wide range of support and activities including covering the costs of formal education fees and tuition, vocational and/or technical trainings, learning and development opportunities, income generation skills and more.

Youth development initiatives represent some of our largest global field needs and opportunities for transformation. Learn more about our contextualized approach in the summary linked below.
