The Department is charged with the responsibility to promote active involvement of youth in service development, implementation and creating opportunities. It is also tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that all its programs and activities support youth and community mobilisation, job creation and social inclusion. Youth Development activities are centred around the Youth Advisory Centres and outreach programmes.
The CoJ Youth Advisory Centers (YACs) are walk-in centers where trained personnel provide information, counselling support, training and referral services to young people. YACs offer information and support across a wide range of issues and topics such as career guidance and entrepreneurship advice, job preparation, civic education and other life skills and provide referral services.
