This program builds a movement of courageous young leaders who ignite transformative justice in their communities, for the planet. Diverse groups of young leaders age 19-28, different races, class and genders, participate in weekly & residential & online courses . The mission is to form and train wise, strategic leaders for our communities, by creating a safe space of learning, through courageous conversations that empower them to facilitate transformative justice locally and beyond.
New, young leaders with vision, integrity, skills and energy, are needed more than ever in South Africa, and an income in these times of high youth unemployment. Next generation leaders must be nurtured to become critical thinkers, advocates for justice, especially climate justice, peace makers in their families and communities - motivating and inspiring young people to bring about transformation in their communities and in South Africa and beyond.
Alumnae of this program have become local, national or international leaders. The quality of VYLTP learning, training & formation successfully equips and transforms them to be community leaders or in different sectors of society. This project became a weekly program after Covid-19,, alongside a new drumming and drum making project to provide some income to trainees. This has increased the reach of the project and produces dynamic, strategic leaders who work for transformative justice.
The young leaders who go through this program, become leaders for transformative justice. They bring about positive changes and transformation in their communities and beyond, through organizing projects and inspiring others. By continuing the in-depth, high quality education and formation of young leaders through in-person residential training and online courses to enhance the learning, or for more in-depth work with alumnae, their eventual positive impact on society will be increased.
