Life Skills Programme (LSP)
Life Skills Programme:

This is an initiative designed to involve youths in upper primary and secondary schools as well as out of school youths in communities that YSK targets through establishment and facilitation of life skills clubs. YSK has adopted the advocates for Youth's popular family life education program, Life Planning Education that we translate and customize with reference and application to the local context as an effective tool to Youth Development.

The aim: is to help youths to gain the knowledge and skills to make positive contributions at home, at school, in the community, and in the work place as responsible and resourceful citizens.

The Benefit: Members learn to communicate effectively, analyze and solve problems, set and achieve goals, work successfully as part of a team, and resolve conflicts peacefully.

The Difference: Members learn to resist negative peer pressure, make healthy choices, and understand and appreciate diversity in the classroom, school, and in the larger society guided by dignity, integrity and stewardship. The Life skills club content stimulates the youth’s intellectual curiosity and academic growth, guiding them towards active citizenship and positive social action.

The Content: includes chapters on sexuality, relationships, health, violence prevention, and community responsibility as well as chapters on skills-building, values, self-esteem, parenting, employment preparation, and reducing sexual risk.
