Youth League Activity
The SPLM-IO Youth League — empowering the next generation of South Sudanese leaders through civic education, advocacy, and political participation.
The SPLM-IO Youth League is the movement's dedicated wing for young South Sudanese between the ages of 18 and 35. It serves as a training ground for future leaders, a platform for youth advocacy, and a bridge between the movement's founding ideals and the aspirations of the next generation.
Mission of the Youth League
The Youth League exists to cultivate politically conscious, civically engaged young South Sudanese who are equipped to lead their communities and their nation. Through education, mentorship, and organised action, the League channels the energy and creativity of youth into constructive political participation aligned with the SPLM-IO's vision of a free, democratic, and prosperous South Sudan.
