In an effort to bridge this capacity gap, we have been recently funded under the From Protest to Action project to create a digital learning platform where youth leaders and everyday Nigerians can access training to help their social action journey, connecting with resources and tools for social change. The platform is more than a learning portal, it\u2019s a community for social change-makers, from campuses to communities to connect and resource their social impact effort.<br \/>The portal will be deployed on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youthaction.ng\/dosomething\">www.youthaction.ng\/dosomething<\/a> with enhanced UX\/UI and responsive design, mobile-friendly learning platform and social network for change leaders, courses will be local context-focused, yet rich enough to incorporate best practices with quizzes, animations, video, articles and links for convenient learning. Additional modules and learning materials will be added later. The platform will be designed to support up to 100 courses and modules as well as 20,000 active monthly users. The Hub will also be designed as a collaboration platform and social network to provide opportunities for users to exchange ideas, collaborate and network on similar issues to sustain and amplify impact. We intend to have the platform ready for launch by 10th October 2021<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a7990a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a7990a4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-20518fe\" data-id=\"20518fe\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-528c4fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"528c4fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"> 2.\tScope <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cdaef59 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cdaef59\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a68f6e2\" data-id=\"a68f6e2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fa2142 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7fa2142\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Youth Action Do Something portal will serve as a digital knowledge exchange hub, a component of the From Protests to Action (FPA) project.
