With a mission of “Education in Action”, YAC is the world’s leading and pioneering provider of free, online, action-focused educational courses and opportunities in a vast array of subjects providing young people in developing nations with the knowledge and tools they need to make change happen, supporting and empowering them to realize their vision of a fairer, safer and more equitable world.

I am very much interested to be part of this course and i have just started to explore the issues of youth. I want to gain more knowledge and skills to build my capacity in the field of youth so that i can help other young friends to solve the problems which we have to face.
