On June 29, Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic conducted a one-day training for 80 school graduates from the Bolot Mambetov Area Development Program (ADP) in Kaji-Sai village, Issyk-Kul Region.

The training aimed to support young people during their transition into adulthood, help them make informed decisions about their future education and career paths, and strengthen their confidence in their own abilities.

The program began with an introductory session about the work of Good Neighbors and opportunities for future engagement with the organization. Participants then discussed personal and financial responsibility, safety, document processing, informed decision-making, and ways to protect themselves from potential risks.

Particular attention was given to planning for life after graduation. The participants explored opportunities for continuing their education, professional development, employment, goal setting, and making informed career choices. They also learned about youth activism and volunteerism, discussing how community engagement helps develop leadership skills and gain valuable experience.

During the practical session, participants strengthened their communication, self-presentation, and teamwork skills. They were also introduced to the idea of establishing the Good Neighbors Alumni Club, which will serve as a platform for networking, sharing experiences, and participating in community initiatives.

Throughout the day, the graduates took part in interactive activities, team-building exercises, and a themed quiz. The event concluded with the presentation of commemorative gifts and a group photo.

We sincerely wish all graduates confidence as they move toward their goals. May they embrace new opportunities, believe in themselves, and build a bright and successful future.
