Narmeen Fayyaleh began working at the International Youth Foundation as Program Manager of the “Equip Youth” Program in 2015, and currently holds the position of “Technical Advisor” within the Positive Youth Engagement Program (PYE). Before that, Narmeen worked for twelve years in the field of youth and women’s development with multiple local and international NGOs. Over the course of her work over the past twenty years, Narmeen has accumulated practical and technical experience in the field of developing youth and women, including mechanisms and strategies for integrating young people, linking them to broader opportunities in their communities, and empowering them so that they can be competitive at any stage they approach in life, whether it is moving from school to university or transition from education to work. Narmeen believes that there are many skills that young people can learn or develop through the participation of others in training or an activity that helps them discover themselves and their strengths. In her eyes, youth development is based on giving youth opportunities to learn new skills through extracurricular activities presented through Institutions such as the International Youth Foundation in order to complement what they acquire in their school and university education, so that they become skilled, passionate about life and opportunities, and more competitive with their peers for any opportunity they face.
