Youth Engagement
Young people are central to the present and future development of Ògèrè Rẹ́mọ. The town’s educational institutions, industrial presence and community structures create opportunities for participation in education, employment, entrepreneurship, sport, technology, leadership, culture and community service.
Youth engagement is supported through community organisations, schools, religious institutions, sporting activities, skills-development programmes, entrepreneurship initiatives and other community-led interventions.
Ògèrè Youth Development Association (OYDA)
The Ògèrè Youth Development Association (OYDA) is the principal community youth organisation bringing together young people in Ògèrè Rẹ́mọ.

Its activities encompass skills acquisition, entrepreneurship, mentorship, leadership development, community service, educational encouragement, participation in wider Remo youth activities and the promotion of pride in Ògèrè Rẹ́mọ. The Association also maintains an active public community presence and has undertaken practical empowerment programmes intended to improve livelihood opportunities.
