2026 International Youth Day Message
Dear PPYN Family and Great Youths of Plateau State and Nigeria,
Today, August 12th, we join the world in celebrating *International Youth Day 2026.
This year’s celebration is a reminder that you are not just the leaders of tomorrow, you are the changemakers of today.
At the Plateau Progressive Youth Network (PPYN) Foundation, we see your resilience, creativity, and drive every day. From the 250+ youths we have trained and empowered across the 17 LGAs of Plateau State in skills like Software Development, Data Analytics, Fashion Design, Entrepreneurship, and Digital Marketing, to the countless young people building businesses, creating content, and serving their communities, you are proof that Plateau’s future is bright.
Despite the challenges, you continue to rise. You are innovating, learning, and choosing to build a better Plateau and a better Nigeria.
As PPYN Foundation, we remain committed to creating more opportunities, partnerships, and platforms for you to thrive. We believe in your potential, and we will keep working to ensure you have the skills, support, and environment to succeed.
To every young person reading this: Keep going. Your ideas matter. Your voice matters. Plateau and Nigeria need you.
Happy International Youth Day 2026!
Let’s keep building together.
With pride and hope,
Fwangmun Sharon Damang
