About the Organization

Founded in 2016, Young Leaders for Active Citizenship (YLAC) aims to increase the participation of young people in the democratic process and build their capacity to lead change.

• Engage with program partners to shape and enhance our interventions; develop new partnerships to further the cause of citizen engagement
