KISI youth project nurtures and builds
the capacities of young people, and helps them identify and use their
talents for the benefit of their community. KISI strives to give young
people a voice within their community. Because there is no universal
definition of a youth, KISI youth programs welcome productive, creative
community members of any age to participate.
