Empowering Future Leaders Through Technology Literacy Training
In today’s fast-paced world, the Technology Literacy Training Program serves as a transformative opportunity for young leaders within the Mien community of Vietnam. This program bridges the gap between traditional ways of life and the demands of the modern digital age, empowering participants with critical skills to lead their communities while staying connected to their heritage.
Program Overview
Our innovative four-year program is designed to provide underserved youth in remote Mien villages with access to quality education, leadership training, and digital literacy. Through this program, participants gain the skills necessary to excel in a technology-driven society and make meaningful contributions to their communities. The program also creates a pathway for higher education, allowing students to pursue college opportunities that would otherwise remain out of reach.
What We Offer
The training combines in-person and online sessions delivered by experienced educators from the U.S., Thailand, and Vietnam. Participants engage in:
- Technology Literacy Training: Hands-on education to master digital tools and applications.
- General Education: Core subjects like psychology, social sciences, and more.
- Leadership Development: Skills to navigate societal challenges and inspire positive change.
These sessions are supplemented by monthly online follow-ups to reinforce learning and track progress.
Who Benefits
The program targets young leaders from remote Mien villages, many of whom lack access to high school education or technology. Selected for their potential and commitment, participants include individuals eager to make a difference in their communities and inspire progress beyond their local areas.
Why It Matters
The Mien community faces significant challenges, including limited access to education and the lure of materialism pulling youth away from their roots. Many migrate to cities, risking exploitation and leaving a leadership void in their villages. This program addresses these issues by equipping young men and women with practical skills and opportunities, creating a brighter future for their families and communities.
Our Goals
- Empower Future Leaders: Equip youth with the tools to succeed in the modern world.
- Rebuild Communities: Encourage participants to bring their skills back home to drive local development.
- Provide Lifelong Opportunities: Offer an environment where young leaders can thrive without compromising their cultural values.
