Opportunities for South Sudanese Initiative

National NGO, South Sudan

Every young South Sudanese deserves a path to opportunity.

OSSI connects young people and professionals with training, mentorship and career pathways, sharing global, national and local opportunities that can change a life.

Our mission is to empower and transform South Sudanese youth by sharing global, national and local development, education and career opportunities.

Who we are

Opportunities for South Sudanese Initiative (OSSI) is a national non-governmental organization in South Sudan.

Technical and digital skills internships

We partner with local organizations and the private sector to open internships where young people gain real technical and digital experience.
