Guiding the movement with youth voices at the center
The Sebei National Youth Movement (SNYM) is led by young people who have lived the reality of Sebei. Our leaders are not distant figures or political elites. They are survivors of mudslides, floods, land loss, insecurity, corruption and neglect. They are youth who have buried relatives, lost cattle, fled violence, and grown up watching their communities cry out without response.
Because Sebei has been ignored for too long, we chose organization over chaos, structure over anger, and leadership over silence. Our leadership exists to turn pain into coordination, grief into action, and fear into collective strength, using only peaceful and lawful means.
For the safety of our members and communities, SNYM emphasizes leadership roles and responsibilities rather than personal publicity. Leadership in SNYM is service, sacrifice, and accountability to the people.
National Leadership
The National Chairperson provides overall vision and direction for the movement. This role exists to represent the collective voice of Sebei youth, engage partners and institutions, and ensure that SNYM remains firmly committed to its cause.
The Vice National Chairperson supports the National Chairperson and strengthens coordination across all levels of the movement, ensuring unity, continuity of our work.
District Leadership
SNYM is rooted in the three Sebei districts of Kapchorwa, Kween, and Bukwo. Each district is led by a District Coordinator and a Deputy District Coordinator.
District leadership exists to organize youth, document community challenges, respond to crises, and connect district realities to the national voice of the movement. These leaders ensure that no district is forgotten and no suffering is hidden.
Sub-County Leadership
Sub-County Coordinators work closest to the daily struggles of the people. They organize youth at the sub-county level, gather information on disasters, insecurity, land challenges, and social needs, and coordinate community actions and advocacy.
They are the bridge between district leadership and the grassroots.
Parish Leadership
Parish Coordinators ensure that villages are heard and represented. They collect community concerns, support dialogue, and help ensure that information flows honestly and accurately between villages and higher levels of the movement.
Village Leadership
Village leadership is the foundation of SNYM. Each village is represented by two coordinators, one male and one female.
This structure ensures inclusion, gender balance, and that every household has a voice. Village Coordinators are often the first to witness floods, mudslides, raids, displacement, and harassment. They help document realities on the ground, mobilize youth, and protect community unity during times of crisis.
Accountability and Safety
SNYM operates through collective leadership and community accountability. For security reasons, not all coordinators are publicly listed. Official communication and verified contacts are provided through recognized SNYM channels.
Leadership in SNYM is not about titles. It is about standing for Sebei and refusing to let our people suffer in silence for this long!
