(desire to) prove themselves
"Youths keen to prove themselves"
Other ways we could translate this:
"Youths keen to better themselves"
"Youths keen to raise their profile"
Just other suggestions, I would go for something you would normally hear. I would (personally) not say "affirm themselves" - I have never heard this being used as an expression in real life. But please note, these are simply my suggestions.

E dreptul fiecaruia, desigur, sa aiba ce parere doreste. BTW, "to stand out" nu inseamna "a se afirma" ci "a iesi in evidenta"/"a se distinge". A se afirma are mai degraba sensul de "a avea succes", nu de a iesi in evidenta.

: Faux friend!! "Affirmation" 1. religie 2. self help in sensul de "one's need of their own value to be validated by others"

: Nu, intr-o cariera, "to stand out" e mai degraba negativ. La modul general inseamna altceva: 1. project from a surface, project, stick out, bulge (out), be different, be proud, jut (out), persist in opposition or support ... s.a.m.d.
