Why a Youth Organisation Is Important

It improves critical thinking skills.

One of the reasons why forming a group of young people is important is that the youth will know how to determine and analyse the root causes of the problems their respective communities are facing. As they try to identify the structural explanations of every problem they perceive and experience, they are also exercising acute social criticism. Youths will learn to explore beneath the surface of the issues, to challenge conventional ideologies, to reflect and think critically about the issues, and to come up with effective solutions.

It enhances interpersonal and communication skills.

In setting clear objectives and running an effective campaign, the youths working within an organisation must learn to work together. They should know how to bridge gap and differences, such as class, and race. The youth will come to listen to and appreciate each other’s experiences, perspective, ideas, and uniqueness in general. As they learn to speak up, they will come to see the value of sharing knowledge and common goals. They will learn to have confidence in their voices.

It helps develop a stronger sense of empowerment.

As youth organisations immerse into real-life problems, young people will have to participate in authentic problem-solving processes that may result in tangible changes. If they can push through a campaign, such small wins fuel their momentum and leave them feeling efficacious and powerful. On the other hand, their failures do not necessarily undermine their sense of empowerment. Instead, they learn the value of perseverance and continue to fight for what they believe in. They are conscious that when they unite as one, they represent a powerful force.

It cultivates strong commitment.

When young people come together in a group, they care deeply about their communities and its issues, and identify their individual and collective responsibility in making a difference. They will be able to develop the skills necessary to participate in civic life. Members of youth organisations more likely engage in political and societal activities.

On the whole, youth organisations are an important part in the lives of the young ones. These activity spaces play a crucial role in the development of every youth’s knowledge, skills, and potentials.
