Our Youth Development Programme has been designed to identify and mentor young, underprivileged or marginalised individuals with a desire to pursue a career in conservation and/or EE. The programme focuses particularly on black children who live in rural areas in close proximity to the school, and who have previously participated in one of our centre-based EE programmes.
Since its inception, a number of prospective South African conservation champions have been afforded the opportunity of a lifetime to gain conservation knowledge and skills to equip them to play a meaningful role in preserving and nurturing South Africa’s rich biodiversity.
