Young people are the backbone of a nation and as the most important social force. They have an important role to play in social change through playing leadership role and community voluntarism.  Most of the youth face a variety of problems such as unemployment, lack of skills to match market demand and general feeling of alienation. Youth unemployment results in frustration and leading them towards harmful activities such as violence, drug addiction, misuse of Information  and Communication Technologies (ICT) and in extreme cases potential for radicalization. Another problem of youths is the different kinds of education being imparted to them in community and abroad.

WADA has been implementing different projects under this programme to empower youth, mobilizing community and contribute in social changes as;
