Under the SUPPLEMENTARY EDUCATION PROGRAM, Twenty-First Century African Youth Movement is launching PROJECT MJ 2015 to establish a Computer School Program in Mattru Jong, Sierra Leone. The objective of the program is to provide virtual and, unlimited education access to students, as well as teachers, in the Mattru rural community. This is possible because AYM already runs a Social Enterprise and Business Incubator Center in the township with 24/7 electricity using solar, wind and diesel. We are seeking knowledgeable volunteers and relying on the power of social media to fund PROJECT MJ 2015. Specifically, we are seeking volunteers with lots of Facebook fans, Twitter followers, LinkedIn connections and email subscribers to fund our project via websites such as FirstGiving, Razoo, Fundrazr, Kickstarter, Indiegogo and Crowdrise, etc... In partnership with Techsoup, AYM will be able to purchase most of the products for this project at very reasonable costs. With the Google Grants for Nonprofits, of which AYM is a beneficiary, the organization has the resources to deliver online classes by volunteers directly to students in this rural community in Africa. In-kind donations are also welcome.

Mission Statement
Creating Jobs and Employment for Youths in Africa!
Description
The Twenty-First Century African Youth Movement (AYM) is a beacon of hope for Africa's dynamic youth. Our core mission? Ignite opportunities! At AYM, we don't just talk change - we create it by generating jobs and fostering employment for the continent's burgeoning young population. Through our targeted initiatives, we're paving avenues for a prosperous, self-sufficient future, transforming the narrative of Africa's youth from seekers to achievers. Join us in molding the future leaders of Africa.
Our focus is to r espond to the huge unemployment and inactivity facing the vast majority of youth in Sierra Leone, a reality that reflects the African youth experience. AYM plans to expand its country-level support in Liberia, Ghana, and Gambia by the end of 2014.
Mobilizing Africa’s unemployed and underemployed youth is the key to the continent’s economic growth and stability. AYM works to mobilize marginalized youth through education, training, and creates entrepreneurial opportunities to help move communities away from poverty, disease, and hunger. AYM aims to establish personal empowerment and community resilience by energizing its critical youth population as change agents to reverse social and economic stagnation.
