Co-Founder and Director, 254 Youth Policy Cafe

Elevating youth voices in public policy through dialogue facilitation, capacity building, and advocacy.

Dr. Judith Nguli is a public policy analyst who co-founded 254 Youth Policy Cafe to engage youth in public policy issues. Through her experience working in the Kenyan government and at a policy think tank, she has made a substantial impact on the national strategy for tackling youth employment. Her organization focuses on this goal by ensuring youth have a seat at the table, training 10,000 youth over the course of three and a half years, and partnering with secondary schools, universities, and community planning organizations. Judith is eager to ensure 254 Youth Policy Cafe’s sustainability, fortifying a youth-centered curriculum that engages social media and other innovative tools. She wants to use the Scholars program to improve her storytelling skills and ultimately build a physical meeting space for a policy incubator.
