Who We Are
Green Skills For Youth is a youth-focused organization based in Nairobi, Kenya, driven by a mission to equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to actively participate in creating a sustainable future. Our primary focus is to empower youth by offering training and mentorship in green technologies and sustainable practices, preparing them to take meaningful action in addressing global challenges like climate change, environmental degradation, and social inequality. Through our initiatives, we inspire the next generation to lead in promoting sustainability and positive environmental stewardship.
At Green Skills For Youth, we believe in the potential of young people to be catalysts for change. Our programs provide hands-on learning and practical experience in fields such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, waste management, and water conservation. By partnering with educational institutions, businesses, and community organizations, we create pathways for youth to enter green careers and contribute to both their personal development and the broader societal good.
Our Vision

By investing in youth, we aim to foster a generation that is not only environmentally conscious but also equipped to take leadership roles in transforming their communities and the world.
Our Mission
To empower and educate youth through practical skill-building in green technologies, sustainable practices, and social innovation. We work hand-in-hand with partners across various sectors to create opportunities for young people to thrive, contribute to economic development, and help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
What We Do
We provide youth-centered programs that focus on green skills development, mentorship, and career growth in areas like renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, waste management, and climate action. Our projects are designed to bridge the gap between education and real-world impact, ensuring that young people are well-prepared to contribute to both local and global sustainability efforts.
Guided by DEI

Our DEI statement drives our approach to engaging youth from all walks of life, creating inclusive environments where diverse voices can thrive. We value the richness that comes from varied experiences and ensure our programs and partnerships reflect our dedication to fairness and respect for all.
