The initiative aims to empower Jordanian youth residing in rural communities with life-skills and technical skills to prepare them for the job market, in addition to raising health-care awareness and spreading the culture of self-employment and vocational entrepreneurship. The initiative provides two-hour workshops on monthly basis for high-school students in the targeted remote schools. Community workshops are also conducted.

To date, the initiative has reached more than 570 youth, ages 18 to 24. With limited job opportunities in the govern orate, “For You” Initiative quips youth with self-employment skills.“For You” is a non-profit stand-alone project that depends on volunteers. The approach is partnerships.
