SVSG Youth

By the Youth, for the Youth

Who we are

SVSG Youth is a branch of the mother group (SVSG) that aims to empower, support and provide services directly to the youth of Samoa. This initiative is a succession plan of SVSG to ensure sustainability and continuity of its services. SVSG’s work specifically for youth has branched out to the SVSG Youth, based on the identified need for a team of young mentors that other young people would be more comfortable relating to, confiding in and interacting with.

This conceptualised program has now evolved into a thriving part of SVSG also embracing youth who have never had the opportunity to receive a formal education. Many are now being trained to learn disciplined work ethics and skills to help them source and maintain income for themselves and their families. Our traineeship program also continues to establish youth leadership and empowerment for positive change in the community.

What we do
