Youth FAQs

Our interventions are aimed at young South Africans aged 18–34, whether you are unemployed, self-employed, or still in school. We specifically focus on youth from underserved township and peri-urban communities.

We connect youth to real, relevant opportunities including job placements, learnerships, accredited skills programmes, bursaries, and direct access to capital for youth-owned businesses (such as through our Pitch Competitions).

You can register for upcoming high-energy programmes like the EmpowaYouth Vaal Week (3–7 May 2027 at Koinonia Bible Church, Sebokeng, Zone 14 | 08:00–15:00 daily) through our website to gain critical skills, mentorship, and real-world readiness.
