About Us

What We Believe in

At ProjectYouthSA (PYSA), we believe that every young person in South Africa deserves access to quality education, meaningful employment, and a seat at the table where decisions are made.

As a youth-led civil society organization, we work tirelessly to break barriers and build bridges through civic education, grassroots advocacy, and youth empowerment. Together, we’re shaping a generation that’s informed, inspired, and equipped to drive real change..

Our Story

In 2020, PYSA was born from the urgent need to uplift youth voices in policy, education, and employment. We believe South Africa’s future depends on bridging the gap between young people and political processes. What started as a grassroots movement is now a national platform for youth empowerment and advocacy.
