Youth PWR Charity is thrilled to announce the appointment of Anuoluwapo Kehinde as the new Chair of Trustees. Anu brings a unique perspective to the position, having been a former beneficiary of the organisation herself.
Anu's journey with Youth PWR began as a young person seeking support and guidance. She actively participated in a series of creative media projects that left a lasting impact on her life. Inspired by the transformative power of the charity's work, Anu decided to give back as a volunteer, supporting other young people facing similar challenges. Her dedication and passion for helping others allowed her to develop her own skills and capabilities, ultimately leading to a successful, sustainable life.
With a background in Digital Marketing and a Digital Media and Society MA, Anu is a strong marketing professional with excellent communication skills. Her first-hand experience as a beneficiary and volunteer at Youth PWR gives her invaluable insight into the needs and aspirations of the organisation's service users.
"We are delighted to welcome Anu as our new Chair of Trustees," said Adeola Onigbanjo, CEO and founder at Youth PWR Charity. "Her lived experience and personal journey with our organisation will ensure that our services and activities are continually tailored to the needs of our beneficiaries. With Anu's leadership, we are confident that our commitment to empowering young people will reach even greater heights."
Anu herself shared her excitement, saying,
“I feel honoured to have become a member of the trustees board after benefiting in the past, from the support and opportunities Youth PWR provided me as a young person. Knowing that I can now be instrumental in changing other young people’s lives like mine was, is truly rewarding. I hope my influence in the position has a lasting impact in the future of Youth PWR.”
As Youth PWR continues to grow and expand its impact, Anu's expertise and dedication will play a pivotal role in steering the organisation towards even greater success. The charity looks forward to a bright and transformative future under Anu's guidance.
Youth PWR Charity remains steadfast in its vision of creating a society where all young people are empowered to achieve their full potential, and its mission to engage, inspire, and educate young individuals through leadership development and skills-building programmes.
