  • Youth Development Programme

    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.

    The main objectives of the Youth Development Programme are as follows:

    1. To identify outstanding learners with the potential to become environmental champions through the learning available on the Youth Development Programme.
    2. To pass on knowledge relating to local and global environmental issues.
    3. To provide insights and education on the value and importance of sustainable living, and to demonstrate that individuals can have a positive environmental impact through behavioural and lifestyle changes.
