YouThrive is a youth-focused intervention of Zoë-Life dedicated to enhancing the resilience, confidence, and well-being of adolescents and youth aged 13 to 24.
As an extension of Zoë-Life's KidzAlive programme, we continue with our commitment to care, ensuring that as children grow, their systems and support grow with them.
Within YouThrive, we understand our youth's challenges and respond with a holistic support intervention that covers health education, identity, career guidance and psychosocial care, all designed to grow their resilience and confidence.
Our goal is to create a safe space where youth can explore their identities, make confident choices, and actively shape their future as to have a positive impact on themselves and their communities. Drawing on the lessons and successes of KidzAlive, YouThrive introduces innovative programs with a youth-friendly approach to equip young people with the tools to unlock their potential, ensuring they not only survive but thrive.
We're dedicated to empowering youth by offering tailored programmes to meet their needs.
From health education to career guidance, our initiatives are designed to support adolescents and young adults through:
• innovating how young people access health services
• addressing gender-based violence and child abuse
• helping learners discover their potential career path
• preparing high school learners for life after school
