Youth for Youth (Y4Y) Rwanda is a youth-led movement dedicated to empowering young people to lead purposeful lives and become agents of change in their communities.
Rooted in the belief that youth are not just the future but the driving force of today, Y4Y – Rwanda is built for youth, with youth, and by youth. We provide safe spaces, practical tools, mentorship, and creative platforms for young people to raise their Voice, live their Vibes, and pursue bold Ventures.
From equipping young leaders with life skills to promoting shared parenting and values-based living through our YouTube platform – Ijuru Rito Family Show – we are committed to nurturing responsible, confident, and compassionate youth ready to shape a better Rwanda.
Our Vision
A nation – where young people are empowered, valued, and leading positive change in their families, communities, and futures.
Our Mission
To inspire, equip, and support youth to find their voice, nurture their vibe, and launch meaningful ventures that transform lives and strengthen communities.
We do this through mentorship, life skills education, creative platforms, and community-driven initiatives that foster leadership, responsibility, and purpose.
OUR CORE VALUES
Leadership
We believe young people are capable and ready to lead. We create opportunities for them to step up and shape their own paths.
Inclusivity
We foster safe, welcoming spaces where everyone — regardless of background or ability — can thrive.
Responsibility
We promote responsible action, shared parenting, ethical behaviour, and accountability in all we do.
Creativity
Through platforms like the Ijuru Rito Family Show, we celebrate storytelling, imagination, and open dialogue as tools for learning and growth.
Empowerment
Our work is rooted in communities. We support young people to design solutions that respond to real local needs.
Collaboration
We grow stronger together — with families, educators, organizations, and institutions walking alongside youth as allies.
