Our Courses
Our courses have been designed with YOU in mind – building on the principles of the ACTIVATE! Change Drivers Programme – a programme born in 2011 and one that has grown to see over 4000 young people building their community in the spirit of innovation, leadership, and social change. The Academy – a FREE platform seeks to extend this opportunity to all young South Africans.Â
It’s a self-led blended learning journey. So how you approach it is all up to you. We encourage you to explore your passions and follow your dreams. We have a team that’s ready to support you during the process.
