ACCOMPANY
LP4Y supports Youth from excluded areas towards professional and social inclusion through tailored and innovative solutions that provide opportunities, develop skills, and empower young adults to become actors of change in their communities.
Through training, Youth are accompanied by Catalysts in building the confidence and capacities needed to access sustainable livelihoods, while creating a positive impact on surrounding communities.
INTEGRATION VS INCLUSION
Integration encourages marginalized people to adapt to the existing system, while inclusion transforms environments so that each individual feels valued and respected. Integration alone does not guarantee real and lasting inclusion.
For 15 years, LP4Y's solutions have enabled excluded young adults to develop the skills they need in order to find stable and decent employment. Thanks to an approach that combines guidance, training and support, each young adult develops autonomy and becomes an entrepreneur of their own life, while also acquiring the skills that are required by employers.

TRAINING 4 TRAINERS
In order to increase its impact and reach even more Youth, LP4Y plans to implement a program of “Training 4 Trainers”. The program will consist in training other NGO workers to support the inclusion of the Youth in areas that remain unreachable due to political or geographical reasons, training corporates to implement more inclusive mechanisms in their recruitments, training LP4Y alumni for them to be able to support their communities in crisis times, and more to come!
COMPREHENSIVE INCLUSION
To ensure sustainable Youth inclusion and to make young adults drivers of change, a holistic approach is necessary. LP4Y has chosen to enrich Youth training through an approach based on 3 transversal axes that are vital to comprehensive Youth inclusion:
WELLBEING
Encouraging physical activity, promoting a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle to foster physical and mental wellbeing
CITIZENSHIP
Becoming active and engaged members of society
ENVIRONMENT & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Understanding environmental and climate issues, addressing the challenges of the ecological transition
