ORIENTATION AT ONE STOP YOUTH CENTRE : Building Skills, Purpose, and Direction
Today, the One Stop Youth Centre hosted an orientation session that marked the start of a structured learning journey aimed at growing young people holistically. The session brought together youth eager to build practical skills while also gaining clarity of purpose and direction for their lives.
The orientation was officiated by Mr. Wainaina Muiruri, Deputy Director, Youth Affairs Department, alongside Mr. Silas Maloba and Geoffrey Omondi Otieno from Nile Centric and The HOPE Programme Initiative. Their presence affirmed the importance of partnerships that strengthen youth-focused programming and create meaningful pathways for growth and empowerment.
The discussions centered on ICT skills, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and purpose and strategic development. Participants were introduced to the relevance of computer literacy and digital skills in today’s world, as well as the role of AI in shaping current and future opportunities. Beyond technology, the session emphasized personal growth, self-awareness, and the need for young people to intentionally plan their lives, careers, and contributions to society.
The One Stop Youth Centre is running this programme on a 4-week cycle, providing continuous opportunities for youth to engage, learn, and develop in a holistic way. By integrating digital skills, mindset development, and strategic life planning, the Centre is positioning itself as a consistent space for nurturing well-rounded, future-ready young people.
Through collaborations with partners such as Nile Centric Ventures and The H.O.P.E Programme, the One Stop Youth Centre continues to strengthen its training framework and affirm its role as the One Stop resource plug for youth in Nairobi—a place where young people can access skills, guidance, mentorship, and pathways to opportunity under one roof.
This orientation was not just an introduction to a class, but a reminder that sustainable youth development is a journey, and the One Stop Youth Centre is committed to walking that journey with young people every step of the way.
