Over three million people live in Abuja, Nigeria. The youth make up 70% of this population, including youth with disabilities; the majority of whom live below the poverty line due to unemployment and underdevelopment.
The Creative Youth Boot Camp- Art for Social Transformation project works with one hundred (100) young people aged 16 to 25 years old gifted in music, dance, drama, visual arts, photography, creative writing, poetry and fashion. The project turns their creative talents into a profitable enterprise that provides social good for their communities.
After the completion of the Creative Youth Boot Camp, the most outstanding participants will be given the opportunity to serve as interns in creative organisations for a minimum of two months and all participants will be matched with mentors who are specialists in their field of interest.
