Are you passionate about shaping policies and strengthening the voice of young people in Kenya? Do you have experience working with youth groups, civil society organisations, networks, or community initiatives? This is your opportunity to contribute to the EU-Kenya partnership.

The European Union Delegation to Kenya, through the Meaningful Engagement - Transformative Action (META) for Structured CSO Dialogue in Kenya project, invites applications for the second cohort of the EU Youth Sounding Board (YSB).

The EU Youth Sounding Board brings together 15 young people from across Kenya to advise the European Union Delegation to Kenya on youth participation and empowerment. Members contribute to structured dialogue between young people, civil society, and the European Union, helping to ensure that EU partnership with Kenya is inclusive, relevant, and responsive to the needs and aspirations of young people.

We are looking for diverse, collaborative, and community-minded young leaders who are actively engaged in youth organisations, civil society, networks, movements, or other collective initiatives, and who are committed to representing the perspectives of the communities they serve.
