Created in 2013, YOCEL is a youth led education agency focused on empowerment. We engage, inspire and motivate young people to be agents of change in their communities. YOCEL also works to promote quality education and provide supportive platforms that challenge creativity of young people.
What is Malala Day? In support of the United Nations Secretary-General’s Global Education First Initiative, hundreds of young leaders from around the world representing nearly 100 different countries and over 100 different Partner organizations hosted series of events in support of reaching the goal of all children, especially girls, in school and learning by 2015.
What is the Youth Resolution? The youth resolution is the outcome document created after the Malala Day Celebration, to keep youth engage in the fight for and access to, quality education across the country. After the Malala Day celebration in Liberia, Lofa County on July 12 2013, Beyan Flomo Pewee decided to establish a movement called the Youth Coalition for Education in Liberia(YOCEL), along with Co-founder David Weah II in order to address the issues raised in the Liberian Youth Resolution crafted by more than 200 young people.
The vision of Malala Day and the inborn urge and burning anger of the sufferings of youth in Liberia created Youth Coalition for Education in Liberia to empower young people and facilitate the systematic inclusion of youth in education decision making.
