What We Do
At the National Youth Development Initiative (NYDI), we empower young people from disadvantaged communities with the skills, knowledge, and experiences they need to succeed in life. Through our structured programs, we focus on:
Sweet...
Memories...
Career Development
We provide mentorship, coaching, and real-world exposure to help learners explore career paths in project management, data science, and leadership.
Mentorship & Networking
We connect young people with professionals and industry leaders to guide and support their personal and career growth.
Community Upliftment
We aim to establish learning hubs in underprivileged areas, starting with Soweto and Johannesburg Inner City, to expand opportunities for youth development.
What Keeps Us Going?
Our approach ensures that no child is left behind, and every young person is given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
