multimedia for 5 years and we have a good success rate in placing the youth
that we train in jobs. We have our youth working in almost all the web design
companies in YFCC and elsewhere.
Youth for Change trains in the following programs;
ICT Multimedia
This is a very innovative ICT course which is
implemented in four levels namely course one, two, three and media lab. The
courses are progressive starting from introduction to computers up to
specialization in ICT Web design and development. Media lab is the highest and
the final level of training after which the graduates are linked to internship
and employment opportunities in ICT related companies. we are currently
improving our curriculum building a content management system to manage
emergence of new trends and ease of access.

youth to getting formal jobs. But in an effort to motivate youth to become
entrepreneurs and take advantage of the opportunities that exist currently in
the market; YFCC also trains youth in entrepreneurship. This program enlightens
the youths on business skills required to identify opportunities, start, run
and grow businesses. By the end of the training, the youths acquire useful
skills to run their own businesses.

vulnerable communities that have no chances of ever learning the soft skills
that are required to access and retain jobs in both the formal and non formal
sectors. Further still, the normal education system in Tanzania
Reproductive health and HIV/AIDS program
Youth from vulnerable groups face serious
reproductive heath challenges. In the current environment, there is no
structured way of exposing youth to reproductive health information and skills.
To mitigate this, and in Partnership with World Population Foundation (WPF),
YFCC trains youths in an interactive youth friendly digital reproductive
program dabbed the World Starts With Me (WSWM)
Information center’s
YFCC in partnership with various Community Based
youth initiatives created this opportunity for youth in an effort to improve
their lives and to contribute directly to Millennium Development Goals MDG’s 1,
6 and 8. Towards this effort, YFCC and few selected CBO (Community Based
Organization) partners joined forces to develop information center’s called ‘Vijana

and study books, news papers, magazine, journals and other studying materials
for helping them to expand their knowledge and exposure.
