Who we are
We help young people become agents of positive change
Incredible Youth International is a youth-focused organisation, founded in July 2007 by James Brian Ntwatwa. We work with learners, students and young professionals so that they live by four principles wherever they find themselves.
- Humility
- Creativity
- Truth
- Generosity
Our best-known work is the National Career Guidance Day. IYI led the advocacy that created it, and has organised every edition with the Ministry of Education and Sports.
Read our storyWhat we do
Four areas of focus
Everything IYI does sits in one of four areas, all with the same aim: young people who know their purpose and are ready for work.
02
Talent development
Room for young people to discover their gifts and practise them, on stage and off it.
03
Business
Early exposure to entrepreneurship and innovation, so young people see they can create work as well as find it.
04
Profession
Career guidance that puts learners in front of universities, colleges and employers, and helps them choose a path.
The National Career Guidance Day
How 20 March became a day for careers
Following IYI’s advocacy, the Ministry of Education and Sports set aside 20 March as the National Career Guidance Day. Every March, schools from across the country come to Kololo Independence Grounds to hear speakers, visit the stands of universities, vocational institutions and employers, and ask about careers.
