Introduction:
The OlympAfrica Youth Ambassador Programme (OYAP) is a youth volunteer Programme initiated in 2003 by the Lesotho National Olympic Committee (LNOC), in partnership with Commonwealth Games Canada (CGC) and UK Sport. Our main objectives are to (1) Train youth Ambassadors to organize sport events for people in their communities, (2) Utilize sporting events to disseminate information on critical social issues affecting youth and (3) Equip youth with appropriate skills to provide peer mentorship for other youth in their communities.
Vision/Mission:
Promoting “youth empowering youth through sport to create a positive change in their communities”.
How is the organization incorporating Kicking AIDS Out:
We believe that effective Learning is a result of direct interaction of life experiences with new concepts learned, in a creating way. We also believe that information dissemination and life skills capacity building workshops, movement games, sports tournaments and teambuilding session play a major role promoting learning and a mutual sharing environment for youth in our communities. It is out of this, that the Kicking AIDS Out activities and games form the largest part of our strategies in sharing and exchanging information among varying groups of children and youth within the OYAP Programs and communities in Lesotho.
