Question:
How can I write a proposal to appoint youth based community based organizations to facilitate weekly sessions on keys areas of youth skills development at the career development, business support, computer literacy, leadership, life skills and Moral Regeneration Implementation, coordination and facilitation of the Youth Employment?
Answer:

Good morning Chichi, and thanks for contacting CTB.
My first suggestion is that you sharpen the focus of your early efforts.  You list a wide range of topics, and they may not all be first priority among the youth you hope to serve.  Our chapters on needs assessment, partnerships, and action planning may be of some assistance.  They can be found under the Learn A Skill graphic by clicking on Table of Contents.  As part of your needs assessment, consider whether other groups/organizations already offer some of these topics.  Is it possible to collaborate with them, in order to strengthen the offerings?
As you proceed to think this project through, an outline for a grant application will begin to emerge.  We have a chapter on grant writing that may be of assistance.
Efforts to strengthen the skills of youth have great merit.  Best wishes for your success.
