The goal is to sustainably reduce youth unemployment in the project communities by offering livelihood vocational skills to at least 120 additional vulnerable youth.
We have a big partner who has committed to provide US$ 365,925.00 (77.07%) for the years 2021-2024 but with the condition that we provide US$37,000.00 (7.07%) «local contribution» and US$ 119, 850.00 (15.86%) «third party contribution»

The project empowers youths in Liberia to become able to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty; gain practical skills and a positive vision for their personal and professional future; motivate and enable youth to contribute to an increased climate of social peace and security by playing an important role.
In addition the project helps in finding a job and boosting their self-confidence by offering vocational skills and apprenticeship in the following areas: air conditioner and refrigeration repair; auto mechanic; tailoring; cosmetology; graphic arts; carpentry; welding/metal works; aluminum window fixing and fabric designs.
Since 2010 to present, KFYF has empowered/trained over 900 vulnerable youths in Monrovia’s slums with 750 beneficiaries finding jobs in the informal and formal economy.

Project Management
I have been collaborating with YOCADS since 2013. Their work is amazing and has such a big impact not only for the participating youth but also giving perspectives to the communities they are part of. I am learning so much from the participants, volunteers, coaches, trainers and the management team. And I hope their work does not stop because of the strict regulations of big NGO's needing a "third party contribution". Therefore I am very motivated to support their Crwod Funding in order to "Kick for The Future"!

Job Scout
Nancy C. Broh Coleman is a full time member of the key staff. She is the Job Scout of the organization and therefore responsible for all the efforts and services linked to the apprenticeship-training. She assesses, validates and recommends training outlets, selects and placed the trainees and inquires on their development (e.g. through visits and testing). She designs and organizes several workshops for the trainees and linkes them with potential employers. She is also responsible for the follow-up of the ex-trainees.
Nancy encourages young people to take responsibility for themselves by committing for training. She supports her trainees with a good mixture of empathy and strictness, which leads mostly to success. With her open and friendly manner, she built up a large network and is instrumental in building and expanding the project KFYF
