Laughing Women has long supported programs that offer young people opportunities to build their knowledge of the region and to become engaged in leadership development activities.
To provide comprehensive strategy with a clear mission and goals; committed, caring, professional leadership; youth-centred activities in youth-accessible facilities; culturally competent and diverse programs; youth ownership and involvement, and a positive focus including all youth.
We also believe in sharing this passion by enabling all types of participation in youth training and youth leadership development opportunities.
The overall goal of the Youth Leadership Development programme is to invest in building the capacity of young people in leadership skills and thereby unleash their potential as leaders in their organisations and communities.

Youth need to develop strong values that guide their choices
Young people need skills and competencies that equip them to make positive choices, to build relationships, and to succeed in life
Young people need a strong sense of their own power, purpose, worth, and promise
