Makima Youth Association is a youth-led civic organization committed to nurturing the next generation of community leaders. We create spaces where young people can lead, serve, and grow — together.
Our work is grounded in six core commitments that guide everything we do, from ward-level clean-up drives to county-wide civic education forums.
