Providing training in digital literacy and basic computer skills, online skills, as well as personal and professional growth opportunities. As the CJ Hub grows, we'll offer additional opportunities to learn entrepreneurship, leadership, financial literacy, and other discipline-specific skills for those who are interested.
​
The CJ Hub is equipped with 12 computers and internet access as well as a gathering and demonstration space for guest speakers, workshops, and community meetings. The CJ Hub also offers students access to an offline digital library, projector, and printer.
Global Innovation & Education Internship Opportunity
We are seeking driven, culturally sensitive students to join us as Global Innovation & Education Interns. This is a unique opportunity to work directly on the ground in East Africa, contributing to a proven model of community-led development.
Interns will work closely with our local Kenyan leadership team and our US-based Executive Director to advance our mission. There will be an onboarding process both before interns leave for Kenya and once they arrive. Interns will be engaged at the CJ Hub on a daily basis, Monday through Friday, and weekend excursions are possible to surrounding areas. Interns could independently organize other excursions outside of the surrounding areas, for example for a safari trip, and CJLF could offer suggestions and will allow time-off from the internship to do so.
CJLF can guide our interns to find comfortable, affordable, and secure accommodations (room and board). Our local team and community will make our interns feel welcome and give them an authentic experience of rural Kenya. Internships are self-funded.​​​

Aquaculture Equity Pilot
coming soon...
Programs at the CJ Hub will be linked with hands-on practical training in aquaculture and related farming opportunities, with an emphasis on local innovation and entrepreneurship.
“The programmes offered in areas like entrepreneurship development and youth mentorship will help people at the grassroots level curb poverty levels and people will be able to access knowledge at their (doorstep) location instead of going to towns."
- Port Victoria community member Ogoba Osogo
