Local individual consultant or organization to develop and deliver training modules aimed at providing vulnerable youth, adolescents, and parents/caregivers in the Bekaa and South areas of Lebanon with professional development, household financial management, and employability training. Background and Introduction Mercy Corps is currently implementing the ‘No Lost Generation: Advancing Adolescents Busma program in Lebanon, funded by the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD)  reaching over 7,000 adolescents with layered psychosocial support and skill building activities including: life skills building, goal-setting, participation in recreational activities, and community engagement through impact projects and protection awareness events. The second phase of the No Lost Generation program aims to support this generation of young people by promoting learning and psychosocial resiliency, building social understanding and peace, and renewing plans and re-establishing goal planning for the future. Social stability efforts through activities such as diversity training, life skills education, and community impact projects are social capital tools recommended to counter discrimination, lost years of formal education, poverty and potential for radicalism and extremism for the next generation. The second phase of the NLG project aims to further build the capacity of Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian youth coaches between the ages of 25-35. These coaches act as the instructors of adolescents (13-17 years old) by providing life-skill courses and recreational activities to adolescents.  These trainings will also be offered to adolescents between the ages of 15-17 and youth in the community as well who are interested in developing these skills.
