Empowering Youth Through Volunteerism and Skills Development

Mount Kenya University is strengthening collaboration with government and volunteer organisations to promote volunteerism, practical skills and work experience among young people.

During a meeting with the Volunteer Involving Organisations of Kenya (VIOS) and the State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs, partners explored opportunities to equip students and graduates with skills, professional networks and practical experience while contributing to national development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

MKU Vice-Chancellor Deogratius Jaganyi reaffirmed the University’s commitment to research and programmes that prepare young people for an evolving labour market, noting that the employer of tomorrow needs more than a certificate. The collaboration will also support research into the economic contribution and impact of volunteerism in Kenya.

At MKU, we are committed to turning knowledge into action, empowering young people to serve, innovate and create impact. United Nations Volunteers, United Nations Academic Impact

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Deogratius Jaganyi, today welcomed the institution's newest cohort of students at an address themed "The Journey of Self-Discovery: Finding Your Passion and Purpose."

Speaking to the incoming students, Prof. Jaganyi emphasized that university life extends beyond academic achievement, describing Mount Kenya University as a space for students to discover themselves, test their abilities, and begin to understand their role in contributing meaningfully to society.

The Vice Chancellor urged the new students to use this period for introspection, to understand who they are and the value they are positioned to add to their communities and the nation at large.

Addressing the uncertainty many students face at the start of their academic journey, Prof. Jaganyi noted that it is entirely normal not to have all the answers regarding one's identity or future direction. He advised that, in the absence of certainty, students should be anchored by four guiding principles: character, competency, relationships, and a strong sense of purpose.

Mount Kenya University extends a warm welcome to its newest students and looks forward to supporting them throughout this transformative journey.
