IYF Weekend Academy Graduation

IYF Weekend Academy has been instrumental in providing skills to disadvantaged youths a majority being form 4 leavers who in one way or the other, could not have a chance to further their education due to financial constraints. The initiative which has adopted a three-month cohort structure, not only equips students with practical skills but also empowers them to contribute positively to their communities and the broader economy.

Revered Yohan Kim (Chairman IYF Kenya) “…There are 27 courses we have discussed together with our directors to add more classes and that our youth asked us to add. So, adding more classes we are trying to expand more courses, not only now hosting the weekend academy here, starting from this fifth season we have also expanded this weekend academy across Kenya in 20 branches as well…”

The International Youth Fellowship (IYF) is proud to announce the graduation ceremony of over 3,000 students from its free academy, an event that signifies a major step forward in addressing the educational needs of individuals who face financial barriers to higher education. This milestone aligns with the recent approval of the Recognition of Prior Learning Policy by the Kenyan government, on inclusive education which acknowledges
and validates the skills and knowledge acquired outside formal education systems
