get
involved / You can get involved in YES Country Networks in over sixty
countries. These Networks are the structures through which youth, together with
different partners and stakeholders, can take action to address the youth employment
challenge in their countries. YES Networks need the support of institutions and
organizations in their countries who have an interest to eradicate poverty. Creating
opportunities for youth to have sustainable livelihoods as a means for reducing
the levels of poverty globally is in line with the Millennium Development Goals
as outlined by the United Nations. You can Support the YES Country Networks
in one (or all) of the following ways: » Generate
discussion on youth employment
» Join the Global Alliance
for youth employment
» Be involved with a
YES Country Network
» Share effective practices
in youth employment
» Identify institutions
and programs that can provide capacity building and skills training for youth
» Help to raise funds and other resources for the
YES Country Networks Generate
discussion on youth employment One of the greatest barriers with
regards to youth employment is that it is still not seen as an urgent issue that
needs the commitment and engagement of stakeholders at all levels. Generating
dialogue on youth employment can have a great impact in inspiring others to take
action on promoting youth employment. Such dialogues can be great platforms for
launching action to promote youth employment.

Young people around the world are in great need of skill development and
need to build their capacities to address the challenges they face in their communities.
Many institutions exist around the world committed to capacity building and skills
development. Urge such institutions that you may know of to work with YES Country
Networks to give trainings and capacity building workshops in their countries
to build their support them in taking action on youth employment matters. If you
know of any institution that can provide important support of any kind to the
YES Country Networks, please contact us.

to raise funds and other resources for the YES Country Networks
Imagine
how an idea or action plan developed by a YES Country Network can transform into
a successful initiative. Oftentimes, the sole difference is the availability of
funding or other important resources. You can help! Get in touch with different
agencies that are available to you and urge them to collaborate at the country
level with the YES Networks. Your outreach to these institutions will help to
leap-frog the development of YES Country Networks, and to strengthen the activities
that they are undertaking.
