Challenge 14
Difficulties in finding leisure activities that attract out-of school youth
Many of the activities offered by SBCC programs rely on accessing youth through the school network. Further, having activities that are mostly attended by youth who are in school may discourage out-of- school youth to participate.
Strategy
Some strategies to encourage participation by out-of-school youth in your activities include:
- Ask out-of-school youth what activities they would like to attend and where.
- Organize activities, for example, community engagement activities, such as mobile cinema, participatory theater, concerts or sport events, in locations where out-of-school youth tend to go. Run these activities when out-of-school youth are available.
- Train some out-of-school youth to be peer educators.
