Video Editor

Volunteer for a startup equipping African youth for the global digital economy! 🌍ExperTeens tackles the youth employment crisis by equipping young Africans with vocational, tech, and entrepreneurial training, ensuring they can access and thrive in emerging digital markets.

Africa faces a massive youth employment gap, with 10–12 million young people entering the labor market each year while only 3 million formal jobs are created. Despite the rapid growth of the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) market and rising internet penetration, most youth remain excluded from these opportunities because they lack the targeted digital skills and mentorship needed to compete.

ExperTeens bridges this gap by providing high-impact training in tech and transferable skills, creating physical incubation hubs, and developing innovative business software solutions. Beyond education, we provide mentorship and startup funding to help young leaders launch their own ventures. By directly connecting youth to the outsourcing economy, we are driving innovation and building sustainable pathways out of poverty across the continent.
