Today, I am thinking about what it feels like to have started a youth network as an undergraduate in University of Ibadan. That community I founded will be 5 years this April and I have really come a long way.
Central to the work I do at Outliers Youth Network, is the understanding that youths are a critical bridge between policy and action, and remain a catalyst for transformative partnerships for development across developing countries/emerging economies.
This “Bridge and Catalyst” mindset also sits at the core of our transformational mandate as an organization. We understand communities to be the driving force for continuous innovation and improvement through the evolution of thought patterns, belief systems, and processes in business and society.
Outliers Youth Network is the corporate vehicle through which my youth development ambitions find expression in society. We have a mandate to positively impact lives and livelihoods, by translating global challenges into practical life-changing solutions locally.
The organization’s key commitment pillars for all interventions are to – Increase youth action and promote Sustainable development.
Our community has delivered some significant projects over the years, and in the same vein repositioning to better serve and create commensurate impact through our expanding network . As such, this period allows us to reinforce our mission from a clarity standpoint and tell our impact story boldly.
