Transforming juvenile offenders in South Africa
Change
When Precious was sent to prison he wanted to become a 28 prison gang member. Through the Hope Academy program he saw an opportunity for change. Precious is now being trained as a coach and acts as chaplin of the Drakenstein Hope Academy. He is now being used as an inspiration to other prisoners.
2009 Hope Academy Drakenstein
The 2009 Hope Academy program has started with a bang. The teamwork of the academy has been a testimony to the whole prison. The prison has seen the impact of this program and has now developed the whole prison unit into a sport's academy with other sports codes being taught. The other academies are based on the Hope Academy model.
Development Plans
Each boy is placed into a development plan. The development plan is a strategic plan to develop each player in their football, faith and future. The coach is responsible for seeing that this plan is implemented in the prison and once released.
Coaching Courses
Each Coaching Course (TREC) trains up 25 local coaches in how to deliver quality coaching sessions and also trains them to deliver life skills programs such as HIV/AIDS and human trafficking.
