Youth Centre
The Youth Centre was the first project implemented by Community Outreach in Emuhaya, Kenya in 2004. It provides free training to young people who would otherwise be at home unemployed. It is also a place for young people to develop their own activities such as drama, sports and choir and to socialize. It is the only centre of its kind in the district. Since it opened, more than 250 young people have been trained in basic computer skills. Several young people have been able to find jobs in nearby towns using the skills they learned at the Youth Centre.

The Youth Centre is also a place where activities for younger children can be run during school holidays. During the emergency feeding programme, it was used as one of 8 feeding stations. It also accommodates the sewing school and is a favourite place for volunteers to get involved.

Charles

It is managed by a locally trained young man called Charles (age 24) who does a great job in networking throughout the district to get young people to become computer literate and enjoy spending time in a youth friendly environment.
