SeneGAD currently funds Youth Clubs across Senegal. SeneGAD currently funds clubs bi-annually; the number of clubs varies according to how much money is available. Each Youth Club can receive up to 50,000 CFA (app. US $100) to fund activities. Application deadlines are at the end of May and October. Youth Club activities vary depending on location, participation, and leadership. In Kedegou, a volunteer facilitated a club with 15-18 year old young girls where they discussed issues such as self-esteem, goal setting, female role models, HIV/AIDS, family planning, female health, and the importance of education for women. In Podor, PCVs organized a girls leadership conference with the MS Scholarship recipients and other village girls. Most Girls' Club activities are initiated by PCVs and facilitated by host country nationals.

We would also like to encourage male volunteers to initiate clubs as well. Another volunteer in Kedegou has started a Kung Fu club with boys, which as been very well received. He teaches the boys about self-control, and has created a comfortable setting for the boys to discuss things such as gender roles and other gender issues.
