Youth Citizen Action Programme ...making a difference!

Image
I spoke to Amanda Blankfield - Koseff  CEO and Founder of YCAP .Here a bit more background about what they do.  Empowervate is a youth development NPO that was registered in 2013. The flagship programme it runs, The Youth Citizens Action Programme, was born out of  Afrika Tikkun , a well-established NGO, in 2008, initially as a youth dialogue. When the national youth programme, which works through the Department of Basic Education, grew too large to be housed under a community development organisation, Empowervate was born. Powered by Empowervate, The Youth Citizens Action Programme (YCAP) is a competition-based programme that encourages grade 10 learners from underperforming high schools to enter projects that they have undertaken to improve an identified problem within their school or community. The Youth Citizens Action Programme will expand as Empowervate grows, but for the past four years, it has been a schools programme for Grade 10 learners exclusively. ·      A m
