SkillUp Edda is transforming the lives of Edda youths by providing them with valuable skills, mentorship, and opportunities for self-reliance.

SkillUp Edda is a group that was built by young and well-meaning Edda youths that has the best interest of Edda at heart to help in developing the indigenes of Edda Local Government Area in Ebonyi State, Nigeria through skill acquisition/empowerment programs. We are focused on making sure that indigenes of Edda Local government are empowered with life-changing skills, as this will help us achieve the following:

1. Reduce the rate of unemployment in the whole of Edda.
2. Help with fast-tracking the rate of development in Edda.
3. Reduce the rate of crimes and social vices in Edda communities.
4. Help our youths and teenagers build capacity and gain skills to make them compete globally. Our training is centered around the UN SDGs of 1, 9, and 11 and is facilitated by young Edda indigenes across the country with expertise across Digital skills, Phone repairs, Event planning, and decoration, Catering, and other valuable skills. We are powered by My Edda, in collaboration with Edda Loaded, Face of Edda, Concerned Edda Youth Movement. We are a team of young, vibrant, and creative Edda indigenes that are focused on creating change and development in the Edda Local government.

Dear Edda youth,

EVERY CONTENT CREATOR STARTED SOMEWHERE.

You don't need the most expensive camera to start learning content creation.

Start with what you have.
Learn how to tell a story.
Learn how to take better pictures.
Learn basic video editing.
Learn how to write captions.
Learn how to understand your audience.Most importantly, practice.

Don't wait for perfect equipment before you start developing your skill.
Your first content may not be perfect—but your tenth can be better, and your hundredth can be much better.

DEAR EDDA YOUTH,

DON'T RUSH YOUR LIFE.
Social media can make it look like everyone is succeeding except you.

Don't be deceived. Some people are ahead of you in one area, while you may be ahead of them in another.
Instead of comparing yourself, ask yourself:

What am I learning?
What am I building?
What can I improve today?
What kind of person am I becoming?

Take your time. Build yourself. Learn useful skills and surround yourself with people who genuinely want to see you grow.

Your journey is your journey. Keep going.

Tag a young person who needs to hear this today.

Dear Edda youth,

YOUR FUTURE STARTS WITH WHAT YOU DO TODAY.

Every young person has a gift, but talent alone is not enough. You need to learn, practice, make mistakes, improve, and keep moving forward.

Don't wait until you have everything before you start. Start with what you have. Learn a skill. Ask questions. Practice every day.

The world is changing, and those who are prepared will have more opportunities.

Your background does not have to determine your future. Your determination can change your story.

What skill would you love to learn or improve this year?
Drop it in the comments. Let's encourage one another! ❤️

Dear Edda youth,

Every day, you make choices like
Who you follow, Where you go,What you watch,What you say and What you spend your time doing.

Some choices may look small today, but they can have a big effect on your tomorrow, Choose habits that make you better, Choose knowledge over ignorance, Choose peace over violence.
Choose skills over idleness, Choose purpose over pressure.

You may not control everything that happens in life, but you can control many of the choices you make.

Make choices your future self will be proud of.

Dear Edda youth,

SHOW ME YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS AND I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

Your friends don't have to be perfect.
But they should not constantly encourage you toward things that can destroy your future.

A good friend can tell you, Don't do that,Let's learn something, Let's start something,Don't give up,Think about your future.

Choose people who can correct you with love, celebrate your progress and encourage you to become better.
And remember be that kind of friend to others too.

What is the most important quality you look for in a good friend?

DEAR Edda youth,

KNOW YOUR WORTH.
Your value is not determined by the clothes you wear, the phone you carry, the person you are dating or what someone can buy for you.

You are more than material things.
Build your mind.
Build your character.
Build your confidence.
Build your skills.
Build your future.

Learn something valuable.
Continue your education.
Set goals for yourself.
Make responsible decisions.
Don't allow anyone to convince you that you must compromise your future to be valued.

You are worth investing in.

DEAR EDDA YOUTH,

RESPONSIBILITY IS PART OF GROWING UP.

Being a youth is not about making the most noise.
It is not about intimidating people.
It is not about fighting.
It is not about belonging to a dangerous group.

A responsible youth learns to control himself, respects others keeps his word, works toward his goals, learns useful skills, accepts correction and takes responsibility for his actions.

Become the kind of person your family and community can trust.
