How does EWET go about it?

Learner driven Youth Business Leadership from within YES clubs Element viii: (a.) Each member of a YES club receive a club handbook as part of the Learning and Teaching Support Materials (LTSM) that covers: a draft constitution for the club; code of conduct; organizational structure; functions and duties of office bearers (president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, public relations officer, constitutional advisor, team chairpersons), executive committee functioning, inauguration, temporary committees, conducting meetings, keeping minutes, budgeting, planning for year, what good leadership is, etc. (b.) It is from this strength of youth leadership at club level that EWET propose to escalate the existing leadership structures to promote economic citizenry amongst the South African youth. The leadership structure to build will be at municipal, district, provincial and national level. A voice from this YES youth lead rights-based movement will enable these young people to engage with those in positions of authority and power together with duty bearers in order to hold them accountable for childrens rights. Emphasis is from the perspective of the provision of access to economic opportunity as a childrens right in order to combat poverty. The youth leadership plays an important role within the advocacy of young people right to access to economic opportunity. They

furthermore have an important role to play in support of emerging entrepreneurs amongst the youth.
