About the organization:
Youth Empowerment and Development Initiative (YEDI) is a not-for-profit organization that delivers evidence-based programs, in schools and communities, designed to build young people's assets, facilitate their access to health services, and promote their adherence to healthy behaviors.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Youth-Powered Ecosystem to Advance Urban Adolescent Health Activity (referred to as YPE4AH) is a five-year (2020 – 2025) USAID funded project implemented YEDI and its partners. The primary goal of the project is to improve the health and well-being of urban, underprivileged adolescents aged 15– 19 by increasing voluntary family planning (FP) uptake and continued use—from a holistic, human capital perspective. The youth-powered ecosystem centers on Youth Hubs—safe spaces for youth to seek and access FP and reproductive health (RH) information and referrals. YPE4AH will adapt and scale up evidence based, high-impact SKILLZ curricula, which combine sports and fun-based activities and group sessions led by Youth Coaches/mentors to spur healthy behavior change and shift attitudes for more equitable gender sensitive norms. YEDI seeks to engage an Outreach officer to coordinate and implement the community mobilization activities in target locations.
