Careers at Yedi

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. Since its inception in 2011, YEDI has benefitted over 300,000 young people in schools and community sites in Lagos, Abuja, Akwa-Ibom, and Ogun State. 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 by YEDI and its partners. The project’s primary goal 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 a Hub Coordinator who will enhance and ensures proper implementation of the YPE4AH project. The Hub coordinator will operate under the leadership of the Program Manager for the project sites in and Kano.
