South Africa is a rainbow of traditions and languages -and today we celebrate that. Happy Heritage Day, everyone! Our diversity is our strength, and our traditions are our roots. When youth understand their roots, they’re empowered to contribute to their communities, innovate for the future, and lead with pride. Education will always be their biggest asset! #HeritageDay #CelebrateDiversity

Happiness is contagious! But it’s not always ready-made, it comes from our actions. Here's to many more bright smiles ahead, as our youth get the vital tools they need to take charge of their own happiness. Let them inspire each other and spread happy vibes!! #YouthEmpowerment #DreamBig

Gather round, let’s get together and give young people a chance. But what does this look like? We believe that learners need to become creators, not only job seekers - for sure!! This is happening with Step Up 2 A Start Up, another one of our programmes with Primestars.. The aim of this initiative is to raise a generation of entrepreneurs. Learners get inspo from live screenings, followed by their entrepreneur toolkit containing awesome practical guidance. Participants can then compete in the National Youth Entrepreneurship competition. The top 10 teams are selected and then invited to attend an intensive business boot camp. The winners receive funding, bursaries, incubation, mentorship, internships, and digital gadgets for ongoing support. Check this out!! #HelloEntrepreneurship

You don’t know what you don’t know, right? That’s why a good education is essential in opening new avenues for growth. Not only that…..a good teacher, role model, mentor can change everything! We’re all about shifting mindsets, sparking interest, and giving new insights to show the youth what’s out there. "Teach the children so it will not be necessary to teach the adults." - Abraham Lincoln #Education #YouthStartFoundation

This alarming statistic means that we need to do more. At YouthStart, we are committed to changing the narrative, that so many of our youth, are employed. We address the tough questions: Will they ever find jobs or have a career one day? Our comprehensive programmes focus on providing young people with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities they need to secure meaningful employment. Join us in making a difference, #YouthEmpowerment #SkillsDevelopment #EndYouthUnemployment
