Call for Youth Innovators: Join JAY4T’s 6-Month Youth Entrepreneurship Program (Pilot Cohort)

Jabulani Youths for Transformation (JAY4T) has opened the call for the first 6-month Youth Entrepreneurship Program, an accelerator for the three Employment Social Enterprises.

This first pilot cohort will focus on building three Employment Social Enterprises designed by JAY4T:

  • LigiOpen — Kenya’s sports media & fan-engagement platform

  • KaaKazini — a digital marketplace supporting artisans & craftsmen

  • Sote Tule — an agricultural supply-chain cooperative model

We are recruiting youth from Kisumu and beyond who are passionate about entrepreneurship, digital innovation, sports, agriculture, and community solutions, and who want to be part of founding teams of new enterprises.

You do not need prior experience. You only need curiosity, commitment, and a desire to build.

Participants will join the program through the Employment Collective Forum, where all sessions, tasks, mentorship, peer groups, and project milestones will be delivered.

Those who excel may be placed into paid roles once the enterprises start generating revenue.
