AFINNET strives for a society in which the young are respected as active members and leaders of the community.

Our youth programs promote the development of a confident youth voice in civic dialog, leadership and decision making.

Our goals include:

recognizing youth as resources

creating youth-adult partnership

supporting youth-initiated projects

training youth to be effective leaders

creating employment opportunities for youth

AFINNET has recently created a new Youth Carpentry Program based at the AFINNET Empowerment Centre. 15 young men graduated from the program's first class in 2007.
