About the Youth Development Program
The Migrants SA Youth Development Program is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of migrant leaders, innovators, and changemakers in South Africa. It provides access to education, mentorship, leadership training, and employment opportunities for young migrants aged 16–35.
Our goal is to equip young people with the confidence, knowledge, and skills they need to thrive — socially, academically, and economically. We believe that when youth are empowered, entire communities rise.
Who We Serve: migrant students, unemployed youth, new graduates, young professionals, and community youth leaders seeking to create change and stability for themselves and others.
