Yes for Youth (Y4Y)

Youth for Youth (Y4Y) tackles South Africa’s enduring challenge of high youth unemployment by providing a structured 12-month quality work experience programme. In a country where young people are central to economic progress yet hit hardest by joblessness, Y4Y offers a vital pathway for skills development and meaningful employment opportunities.
