YES DRC

The Youth Employment Systems Democratic Republic of Congo (YES DRC) was created to teach the Congolese youth how to increase their employability, develop a specific vocational skill set and create safe, legal business opportunities for themselves and others. These skills coupled with the supportive environment found at YES DRC offer the sense of autonomy and self-worth at-risk youth desperately seek, while providing a foundation for academic excellence and future leadership. Through this program we assist young people in making healthy, productive transitions into adulthood, by providing them with tools to complete their educations, find jobs that will lead to lifetime careers and take advantage of opportunities to pursue their own business ventures.
