Thank you for your interest in joining Generation Unlimited Nigeria (GenU 9JA) YPAT 2024-25 batch. As a member of the YPAT, you will play a vital role in shaping youth policies, driving youth-led initiatives, and ensuring that the voices of young people—especially those from marginalized backgrounds—are heard at the highest levels. By joining this team, you’ll have the opportunity to work closely with UNICEF and its partners, advocate for youth-focused programs, participate in community-based projects, and help empower your peers to transition successfully from learning to earning.

The Young People’s Action Team (YPAT) is a vibrant group of young leaders committed to driving change in their communities. Through their work with UNICEF and partners, YPAT members advocate for youth-focused initiatives, lead community-based projects, and engage with key stakeholders to ensure the voices of Nigerian youth are heard—especially those marginalized or vulnerable. 

YPATs play a crucial role in the UNICEF GenU 9JA Public-Private-Youth-Partnership (PPYP) platform, acting as an advisory team to ensure youth voices are included in important decisions and policies.
