Millennium Fellowship Project: A Better Future
The Project 'A Better Future’ aims to promote self-discovery amongst teenagers by providing them with platforms and opportunities where they would discover their potential. Discovering their potential early will enable them to make appropriate career choices and help them maximize these inherent skills and strengths to thrive well in pursuing their prospective careers, and position them to live successfully and purposefully. All these would, in turn, promote and strengthen the Nation's economy. Furthermore, this project aims to equip teenagers with adequate knowledge to make effective and profitable decisions about life, thereby preventing them from living without purpose or direction. The Project is going to impact teenagers through the organization of; conference at secondary schools to inspire and expose them to various possibilities in life, training sessions that would be aimed at helping them discover their potential, online mentorship programs, creating awareness and advocacy for the inclusion of self-discovery programs and mentorship programs into the curriculum of selected secondary schools, and fundraising for the sponsorship of teenagers who are not financially privileged.
