Educating young people through reading programs, leadership training, community development, and conflict resolution can prove to be very valuable in the Sub-Saharan region.

Through Youth Converts' programs, we are opening doors for development, creating pathways to peaceful co-existence, and building the foundation for efficient new leaders in the Sub-Saharan region.

​

The programs conceived at Youth Converts aim to strike at the very heart of those issues that prevent young people in this part of the world from creating a future for themselves.
