The Solomon Islands Youths for Change Christian Association (SIYCCAC) is set to be officially launched next month, following its legal establishment as an organization in 2024.

Chairperson Nathaniel Tetuha explained that while SIYCCAC was initially founded in 2017, the upcoming launch will formally declare its status as a legal entity. The association is prepared to collaborate with youths across the country and various denominations.

“We have been witnessing hopeless youths and an increasing number of mentally ill individuals. Our aim is to bring them hope and stand ready to help young people who feel lost in their communities and across the country,” Tetuha told Island Sun.

“I want to encourage young people to join and be part of this youth-focused initiative. After the launch, we plan to extend our programs to the provinces,” he added.

Tetuha noted that SIYCCAC comprises 42 members representing the organization.

“We have a national youth coordinator, president, provincial youth coordinators, ward youth coordinators, and community, family, and individual youth coordinators,” said Tetuha.

He further revealed plans to employ nine provincial youth coordinators and 50 youth coordinators from the 50 constituencies. These coordinators will collaborate with ward and community youth leaders to implement the association’s programs.

The launch will also involve the participation of the Minister of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs, representatives of youth organizations, and government officials.
