Project Description and Impact

Support for setting up THE YCDP presence in the UK, US and Canada

Building a sustainable development solution

There are many international organizations that give grants for development projects that are aligned with their mission. In many cases, it is a requirement to be registered in the country of operation of the aid organization to qualify for the grant. In other cases, being in the same country facilitates and expedites the process. THE YCDP started exploring such opportunities in the UK, US, Canada and Ireland. The application process is at different stage in these countries.

To be able to support young people, local marginalized changemakers and social entrepreneurs, international volunteers and local partners, THE YCDP needs to become a very well established organization in these countries. We would like to work on this foundational project with an Experteer or a group of Experteers who are enthusiastic to support us to get registered in these countries.

We need help to advance on the ongoing application processes and register THE YCDP as a non-profit in these countries.

Learn social impact frameworks and use it for:

Training and empowering people

Learning Opportunity

Opportunity to practice human-centered design in taking part to non-profit operations that meet our organization's/ the community's needs. Gain hands on experience with a grassroots non-profit/ social enterprise.

Additional Benefits

This is a good opportunity for the Experteer to experience Africa. We could guide you to experience Africa and particularly a West-African country called TOGO with its sandy Atlantic coast, its local way of life, local meals, local clothing. Meet local people and live as simple as walk to shop at the community local markets.

Free-time activities could be organized like hiking sports, swimming or museum, zoo, African crafts and folk discovery to put you at the heart of our culture. If you decide to discover the countryside and natural parks and zoo, the villages of the hinterland, we could help you arrange it… surely you will love the rural mountains regions and their landscape and small waterfalls: ready for a trek experience? It is possible too.

Evening relaxation would be a particular moment to let away the stress of the working day and to build friendship, a privileged moment to discuss with others about what matters to you... and if you like it why not a Yoga class for beginners (an exchange or simple introducing to the yoga and practicing some positions for beginners), or would you prefer a local native language study such as Ewe? It is up to you, you are welcome to our country Togo.
