Observed every year on August 12th, International Youth Day, is a global initiative dedicated to celebrating and empowering young people worldwide. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the crucial role youth play in shaping society, spotlighting their achievements, addressing their challenges, and exploring the vast opportunities available to them globally.
In celebration of 2024 International Youth Day, Lagos Food Bank Initiative will be partnering with LEAP Africa and Dow Africa to host a seminar for its community of volunteers, and have a food distribution program to beneficiaries of the Temporary Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). There will also be an implementation of a sustainability intervention for beneficiaries of the Family Farming initiative.
Scheduled to take place at the food bank warehouse on the 17th of August, 2024, the seminar, themed: “Championing Change: Building a Sustainable Society through Community Development,” is designed to inspire and mobilize the next generation of leaders to drive positive societal transformation.
Also, at the heart of this occasion is a seminar and panel discussion which will be anchored around the topics: ‘Intersecting Perspectives: Engaging Young People to Develop a Change-Driven Mentality’ and ‘Storytelling – Changing the Narrative By Driving Ideas into Action’ respectively, where our remarkable guest speakers and panelists: Bayo Omoboriowo (MFR, Founder of MAD House by Tikera Africa), Kolawole Osinowo (CEO, Baobab Plus Nigeria) and Temilade Salami (Founder of ECO Champions Africa) will delve into the critical issues of engaging young people in meaningful ways that drive societal change.
The Youth Day of Service commemoration is of great significance to the food bank’s volunteer community as agents of change in an era where youth voices are more powerful than ever. This event aims at empowering youth, fostering community engagement, encouraging innovation and creativity, building leadership skills and celebrating contributions towards positive change in society.
