Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art. Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength. Youth is wasted on the young. Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.

Youth engagement programs such as our annual Youth empowerment program, bring hundreds of youths together from around the United States, including students to learn about life challenges, and financial management, make connections, and expand their future career opportunities. Concern provides role models and platforms to help young people develop the confidence and skill sets they need to succeed academically and in life.

Youth Empowerment
Summit
The Youth Empowerment Summits are free community events that bring together youths, young adults, and audiences from all over our community and leave participants with an urgency to take action. After each event, we collect feedback via anonymous surveys. Participants frequently say that the forums are extremely eye-opening, and informative and give individuals the opportunity to share their experiences with other youths and teens facing challenging times.

HELP MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
Young people are the world's most precious resource. They provide fresh vision, leadership and critical problem-solving perspectives to some of the world's most intractable challenges. Building pathways to a sustainable future for the world’s young people requires our TOTAL INVOLVEMENT, commitments in tapping the vision and skills of young people themselves, and the consistent investment of inspired donors, supporters, sponsors and partners. It requires the steady commitment of institutions and organizations that further youth development, and the engagement of economic and political systems that depend on the labor and leadership of young adults. Collectively, as strong supportive teams, we are capable of creating and sustaining a set of opportunities that will enable each young person to develop to his or her fullest potential, and thus contribute to the future growth of healthy, prosperous nations
For the past decades, since 1991, in dealing and working with thousands of ex-child soldiers, young children and teenagers affected by war and natural disasters, CMI believes that in order for majority of the world's young people to obtain the ability to make a successful transition to employment, represents the single most predictable determinant of their long-term success in achieving personal and economic self-sufficiency through the guidance and the involvement of community efforts. Finding meaningful, decent work, providing young people with the opportunity to test and hone their problem-solving skills and develop a robust sense of their capacity to affect the conditions of the world around them. The sad reality today is that increasing numbers of young people are not given access to the tools and support they need to successfully navigate this transition to work. Your support and commitment are pressing needs to help empower, develop and transform our young generation as our future leaders.

We help the youth, by working along side with them.
