For the past 5 years Youth Sports Contact (YOSC – Kenya) has been implementing sports and development programs in 6 areas in Kenya; serving both urban and rural youth with the purpose of providing safe and supportive environment for young people to participate in comprehensive sports and awareness raising programs that promotes physical, educational and life skills necessary to prepare and empower young people for leadership in their communities and success in their lives.
YOSC – Kenya proposes to organize football, volleyball and frisbees competitions during the camp as well as organize day seminars and workshops that are both engaging and interactive. The sports competitions and seminars will be divided into two (2) categories on age and gender with the aim of reaching 300 young people.
The integrated training program will be focusing on the following key areas of concern;
Youth, Sports and Leadership development;
Young people will be expected to participate in the competitions and specific skills on sports organization and coach education will be facilitated.
Awareness raising;
Life Skill training – this training is expected to help the young people develop a broad range of personal, social, cognitive and environmental skills, issues of alcohol, drugs and HIV and AIDS.
A key goal of the project is to provide opportunities where young people can be trained, access information and interact with fellow peers and increase knowledge and understanding of key social challenges facing them i.e. HIV and AIDS. |
