Never Again Rwanda (NAR) is a youth-focused human rights and peace-building organization that was founded by 3 university students in 2002 and received legal status as a Rwandan non-governmental organization in 2008.
Guided by a vision of a nation where youth collaborate as agents of change to achieve sustainable peace and unity, the founding members established Never Again Rwanda to promote an exchange of ideas among youth regarding peace-building.
Since 2004, NAR youth members (ages 12 – 27) have organized themselves into clubs and associations. Currently, there are over 27 NAR Youth Clubs in secondary schools and universities and 5 NAR Youth Associations of non-schooling youth that operate in 7 districts: Kicukiro, Gasabo, Nyarugenge, Nyabihu, Ngororero, Rutsiro, and Huye.

These clubs and associations empower young people through youth-led activities and projects that engage their intellect and ideas, develop their capacities as leaders, and positively contribute to building sustainable peace in their communities and nation. Each supports NAR’s goals but have the independence and freedom to create and lead activities of their choice. Activities have included commemoration events, debates, theatre performances, sporting events, and income-generating activities, which aim at promoting critical thinking, dialogue, sustainable peace, and socio-economic development. Never Again Rwanda further empowers these clubs and associations through programs, networking opportunities among members, and financial support for youth-initiated projects.
