Hello friends, how have we all been?
Although it's been a while I came online, I apologise for that, it was due to some urgent issues I had to attend to.
But now I'm here, and we shall be discussing on youth empowerment and how it relates to campus activities.
As we all know, when we speak of youth, we are also referring to students in campus and how they can be empowered.
Please follow along as I begin
YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
Youth Empowerment can be referred to activities that aims at encouraging and building the capacity of students and youths in general.
This helps to guide the decision making of students, it helps them make decisions that will positively affect their lives and that of others.
Yes, the basis behind student empowerment centers on acquisition of skills that can help them cope in life.
Skills such as artistic skills, manipulative skills, communicative skill, intellectual skills and also coping skills.
The importance of student empowerment can not be overemphasized, as it helps to reduce every negative activities of students on campus.
It helps reduce the rate of kidnapping, armed robbery, theft and this inturn will make the campus a more conducive environment to learn.
WAYS OF ACHIEVING YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
There exists numerous ways of attaining empowerment as a student, they are;
- FAMILY SUPPORT:
Family support as the name implies, is the help gotten from the family.
Here the family will do everything in their power to support their loved ones both in campus and when he becomes a graduate.
In a sentence, they help the student become a responsible adult in the society
- SELF EFFORT:
Self effort centers on the personal struggle of each student to earn a living.
Here each student work very hard to support themselves in school and later set up a little business from which they cope from - SOCIETAL SUPPORT:
Yes the societal support does not necessarily involve financial support.
Students need older mature, responsible ones they can relate to about campus life or else they can fall to the prey of bad ones.
Here's where the help of the society comes in, they give moral support and guidance, this inturn will help a student remain responsible.
Please watch out for Student Empowerment II
