About Us
Young people as catalysts of Africa’s
sustainable development.
interact | learn | celebrate
The organization has worked with stakeholders to provide advisory and technical support for development communications, the use of social media to drive advocacy and campaigns as well as structuring youth engagements on a national and regional level. In line with this principle, YHA has staff and volunteers, who are mainly young people, working at the headquarters in Abuja, and with volunteer presence in Lagos, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia and Ghana.
YouthhubAfrica started by building a blog profiling opportunities for young Africans including scholarships, conferences, workshops, news items, articles and events that can contribute to youth development. Over the last five years, the blog has grown to become one of the largest youth development platforms on the African continent reaching directly over 101,000 young Africans who have signed up on, and interact with its social media channels.
