Tomorrow’s Youth Organization-Lebanon (TYO-L) is a new, quickly growing non-profit organization that works in disadvantaged areas, enabling children, youth and parents to realize their potential as healthy, active and responsible family and community members. In spring 2011, TYO-L launched the Women Entrepreneurs in Lebanon (WEL) Program, providing women from Northern Lebanon with training, targeted coaching, and incubation services
In partnership with the Center for Arab Research and Development (CARD), TYO-L will implement the Child Friendly Schools (CFS) pilot program that will provide a series of workshops for the duration of 9 months. Our aim is to train teachers and administrators in community schools in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, the principles of active learning, non-formal education, and learning through play, as well as helping them to understand and implement those techniques into their educational programs and methodologies.
In addition to providing trainings for school administrators and teachers, TYO-L and CARD will also involve University students as beneficiaries from universities in Lebanon to participate in the above detailed trainings. Upon completion, TYO-L will provide students with a “Certificate of Completion” for the CFS training.
