This toolkit features three practical tools designed to help organisations strengthen their internal systems and relationships to better support youth leaders as they grow into professional roles.

We extend our gratitude to cycle 8 members, namely: Ampath, Copper Rose Zambia, Grassroot Soccer, Green Girls Platform, IPPF, Jhpiego, Vision in Action Cameroon, and The Pact. Their candid reflections and collaborative action learning helped surface some of the most common gaps and the boldest ideas for supporting youth transitions. From mentorship frameworks to employment pathways and alumni networks, their work inspired the content of this toolkit.

These tools are designed to be used by any organisation looking to move from informal, ad-hoc practices to more intentional approaches that make youth transition smoother, more supported, and more sustainable. Cycle 8 also builds on earlier conversations held during Cycle 4 on the same topic and connects with broader learning across the YIELD Hub.
