OUR VISION
Empower every young person in Mauritius in
building self-sustaining communities.
OUR MISSION
Providing the youth with the right skills and
intellectual resources to positively impact the
society and foster self-sustaining communities.
ABOUT US
Founded in 2013, Youth S.C.E.A.L is a youth led
organisation with the overarching aim to be a platform
of information and services fostering self-sustaining
communities through capacity building of its inhabitants
(specially the youth) and promotion of education and
entrepreneurship. S.C.E.A.L. stands for Social Change
through Education/Entrepreneurship & Active
Leadership. Arising from the profound belief in the
important role played by the youth in driving community
development and the younger generation power to
bring innovative ideas essential to a healthy evolution of
society, Youth S.C.E.A.L, aims at becoming an entity
facilitating youth access to resources. More engaged,
empowered, the Mauritian youth can and will
unquestionably make a difference in our generation.
OUR APPROACH
Willing to counter the sizeable school dropout prevailing in underprivileged communities, Youth S.C.E.A.L
delivers information sessions about existing opportunities and develop a support mechanism to accompany the
young person in his/her journey. Lack of awareness of existing opportunities being one of the major reasons
promoting school dropout, through our sessions, we encourage the youth to become skilled professionals
through the showcase of pathways towards future careers. In addition to initiatives aiming to bridge the existing
literacy gap, we run initiatives that are geared towards the promotion of youth driven entrepreneurial ventures
and consequently, the development of the local entrepreneurial eco-system.
OUR VALUES
 Passionate about delivering unique and
powerful experiences.
 Commitment and transparency to our
stakeholder.
