Why an institute
From programs to evidence
Our programs focus on equipping young people with practical skills and opportunities. The Research & Policy Institute complements this work by generating knowledge, examining barriers to opportunity and contributing to discussions that can inform policy and practice.
The goal is for Emole to contribute not only youth development programs, but also research and ideas that can help improve opportunities for future generations.
