About Us
COTRAD is a youth-led organization that’s passionate about empowering young people to become the change-makers of tomorrow. We believe that investing in youth leadership development is the key to unlocking a brighter future for our communities and our world.
Through peer-to-peer leadership development and networking opportunities, we’re building a movement of young leaders who are equipped to tackle the toughest challenges facing our society. Our approach is holistic, participatory, and tailored to the needs of young people in Zimbabwe.
We believe that every young person has the potential to make a difference, and we’re committed to supporting those who are often overlooked or underrepresented. That’s why we prioritize the leadership development of young women, youth with disabilities, and minority groups.
Our goal is to create a world where young people are actively engaged in decision-making, governance, and leadership across all sectors. Through our advocacy work, we’re empowering young people to take charge of their own futures and shape the world they want to live in.
