Who We Are & What We Do

Teach Them Young Foundation was founded to address one of the most pressing challenges of our time—youth unemployment and lack of practical skills. Across the world, millions of young people lack access to quality education and job-ready skills. This gap continues to widen, leaving many unprepared for the modern workforce.

We believe that early exposure to entrepreneurship and practical skills training is key to unlocking potential. By introducing young people to real-world skills at an early stage, we help them discover their passions, build confidence, and create pathways to employment or self-employment.

Teach Them Young Foundation is a youth-focused non-profit organization established in July 2021, dedicated to equipping children and young people with practical skills and entrepreneurship education. We are committed to preparing the next generation for a rapidly changing world shaped by technology, climate change, and evolving economic demands.

Our foundation focuses on skills development for youth aged 10–20, providing structured, hands-on training programs that empower young people to become confident, self-reliant, and economically active members of society.

To develop and empower young people through structured, practical training and experiential learning programs that prepare them for sustainable futures.

To create a generation of skilled, confident, and entrepreneurial young people aged 10–20 who are equipped to succeed in life, contribute to economic growth, and help build a prosperous, inclusive, and non-discriminatory South Africa.
