The Success Story
Ahmad narrates his story: my success is rooted in my long-term commitment to social impact, which led me to co-found V SQUARE, a Non-Governmental Organization focused on empowering youth through volunteering, training, and community initiatives. As a leader in this initiative, I have contributed hundreds of volunteering hours and facilitated multiple training sessions in life skills and career guidance. My journey, which began at the age of 15, has evolved into leading programs that help youth build practical skills and engage meaningfully in their communities.
In parallel with my leadership at V SQUARE, I participated in the Entrepreneurship Hackathon with ToRead, where I strengthened my innovation skills and entrepreneurial thinking. This experience was pivotal in designing youth-led initiatives that align with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly quality education and decent work. Beyond my work with the Non-Governmental Organization, I am a certified trainer dedicated to creating a ripple effect of positive change, ensuring that every young person I work with feels trusted and empowered to create lasting community impact
Recommendation
Based on his journey from a young volunteer to a Non-Governmental Organization founder, Ahmad encourages youth to act on their beliefs and trust in their own potential. He urges them to take proactive steps today, believing that when youth are trusted and guided, they can transform their communities through dedicated action.
