The Youth Charter ‘30’ South Africa Report was launched on Youth Day 2023 (16th June) in Johannesburg, as part of the #LegacyOpportunity4All pledge which was made following the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and the Youth Charter’s #GlobalCall2Action. This will see 90 community campuses developed, 90,000 social coaches trained and deployed and 9 million young people directly engaged through sport, art, culture, and digital education across South Africa.

Youth Charter ‘30’ brought together a diverse and intergenerational gathering of representatives from public, private, NGO, community and third sector, government and youth organisations to witness and receive the Executive Summary to the 140-page report reflecting the three decades of the agency’s work. 

Pupils from Selelekela High School and Phefeni Secondary School in Soweto provided the #Youthwise energy, enthusiasm and enthrallment with their singing and dancing contributing to the spirit of Ubuntu and sharing their gifts, talent and potential with all present.

The Youth Charter is now providing the Pupils from Selelekela High School and Phefeni Secondary School with access to our Youthwise Education Packs to free download to mobile devices in the Classroom, Playground and Beyond the School Gate to improve behaviour, attainment and performance for life...

In addition to this, the Youth Charter will be brokering and facilitating its #Call2Action providing sport, recreation, digital employability, skills, workshops programmes and projects through the Social Coaches who will be recruited, selected and deployed.
