The Youth Empowerment (YEP) – Academy is a social start-up initiative of Save Cambodia’s Wildlife (SCW) and the Civil Society Academy (CSA). SCW is a leading environmental NGO in Cambodia, working towards nature & wildlife habitat protection. The CSA is an excellent capacity and talent development provider within th international arena, that inspires civil society actors to fulfill their vision and mission.
Inspiring each other since 2014, SCW and the CSA came up with the idea to launch a “Green Youth Development Program”. Driven by the conviction, that an environmentally just future relies on the young generation, whereas at the same time the needs & challenges of the young generation must be considered and addressed, SCW and CSA started to identify lasting solutions.
Using the innovative methodology of design-thinking, SCW and CSA developed the YEP-Academy and its first products in 2020. With support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the YEP-Academy has been launched recently. The YEP-Academy strives to become a critical part of the South-East-Asian ecosystem that inspires young people to upshift their talent and make a difference for current and future generations.
