About
Organization
The Ovie Brume Foundation creates opportunities for young people attending public state schools to reach beyond their limits and find their place in the world.
At the heart of the Foundation are its Youth Centres in Lagos and Delta State, where young people can learn, explore and develop beyond the classroom. Through education, culture and creativity, livelihood and health, the Foundation exposes them to new ideas and experiences at critical stages in their lives.
More than providing programmes, the Foundation is a community of peers, educators and mentors. We offer consistent guidance, encouragement and support for our members and their families. Young people are given the space to explore, discover their abilities, and gain confidence and independence. With greater awareness of themselves and the possibilities around them, they are better equipped to make choices about what comes next.
This holistic approach has been at the heart of the Foundation since its inception. Today, our programmes, scholarships, internships and partnerships create possibilities for young people to move from learning into further education, from skills into livelihood, and from participation into leadership. These experiences help them pursue their aspirations and make meaningful contributions to the world around them.
Creating an enabling environment where young people are able to reach their goals and give back to their communities.
Our vision is a society where young people are educated and empowered
This is of utmost importance in our relationship with the communities we serve. It
defines relationships among staff and with our partners. We teach this to our
members as part of our core values at the Foundation.
This applies to members of staff, the board and children of the youth centre. We
strive to inspire excellence in all who walk through our doors; in whatever it is they
do.
A key value for everyone in Ovie Brume Foundation is rights, particularly children’s
rights, freedom of expression and diversity. We expect staff, board members, clients,
and children to adopt this respectful attitude.
Professionalism in our approach to work and dealings with our clients – the highest
form of professionalism must be maintained. Doing the right thing, irrespective of
who it is. We believe this embodies excellence and Integrity.
We will serve our clients and children irrespective of their age, religion, economic
status, physical ability, ethnic group, and gender.
