Our Story

The Shift Within: A movement to awaken youth potential.

After our studies, we felt lucky, not just proud. Going back home, we saw the reality many of our friends were facing. Bright, capable young people, stuck in a cycle of hopelessness, waiting for something to change. No jobs. No clear direction. No one to guide or invest in them. We realized that what separated us from them wasn't effort, it was opportunity.

That hit hard. And it pushed us to act. We came together as a small team of young professionals with one question: What if we became the support we once wished for? That's how our youth empowerment initiative was born (CENCE).

Challenges We Address

• High unemployment and limited job skills
• Youth waiting for jobs, support or rescue that may never come
• Loss of confidence in their ability to shape their future
• Few chances to start something of their own
• Mindset captivity - the belief that success can only come from outside help

Our goal is to help youth become self-reliant, and confident in building their futures, all through mindset change and any related support. This isn't just about jobs, it's about empowerment from the inside out.
