Change, Inspire, Enable and Unlock
Our Non-Profit
Our Non-Profit is dedicated to lead a shift in mindset and attitudes within our communities, particularly among the youth. Our mission is to ignite inspiration through innovative youth development initiatives, empowering them to become self-sustainable leaders equipped with the necessary tools to lead both themselves and others.
Central to our efforts is unlocking resources that connect youth to job markets, educational support, and apprenticeship opportunities.
Feed for Change
Our feed for change project aims to help alleviate hunger by cooking and delivering meals and food packages to children and elderly specifically in underprivileged communities
How do we do it:
Our team dedicates a day each month to cook and distribute +-500 meals to those in need.
Whenever possible, we make efforts to support Early Childhood Development Centres and Old Age homes.
In the pics shared: We had various soup drives and feed for change projects across the communities in the Cape Flats area.
Lead for Change
Our Lead for Change project is a youth leadership program tailored for individuals between the ages of 13 and 18 years. The program is crafted to empower participants with tools and skills to foster self-confidence and strive towards their dreams and aspirations.
This year we hosted our first cohort of 30 youth from the underprivileged communities. The program was covered over 3 months.
The Lead for Change Program
The Lead for Change program is designed to explore essential topics that shape the identity and future of our youth. Each session is crafted to engage participants in meaningful discussions and activities. Here’s a glimpse of what we cover:
- Who Am I: This session encourages self-discovery and helps participants understand their unique identities and strengths.
- Importance of a Positive Mindset: We teach the value of maintaining a positive outlook, even in the face of adversity, which is crucial for personal growth and resilience.
- Mental Health Awareness: Addressing mental health is vital. We provide tools and resources to help young people manage their mental well-being effectively.
- Basic First Aid: Practical skills like first aid empower youth to take care of themselves and others, fostering a sense of responsibility and community care.
- Leadership within My School and Community: This segment encourages participants to step into leadership roles, promoting active citizenship and community involvement.
The Cape Town Wonder Experience
As a highlight of our program, we conclude with the Cape Town Wonder experience, where participants visit Table Mountain, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. For many of our youth, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The experience not only allows them to explore a breathtaking landmark but also instils a sense of pride and belonging. It serves as a powerful reminder of what they can achieve and the beauty that exists beyond their immediate surroundings.
The most rewarding aspect of our work is witnessing the transformation in our participants. Many share how the program has changed their perspectives, built their confidence, and inspired them to pursue their dreams. These stories are a testament to the importance of investing in our youth.
At Game Changers SA , we are committed to creating a brighter future for disadvantaged communities through youth empowerment. By fostering leadership, resilience, and community engagement, we are not just changing lives; we are building a better tomorrow. Join us in this mission, and together, we can make a significant difference.
learn for Change
The primary goal of our Learn for Change project is to reduce the school drop out rates and get learners more engaged in school leadership and self development.
We partner with schools in offering various workshops to support and assist student leaders to further develop themselves and leadership aswell as lead other.
Our child and youth care worker also assist with counselling on learner behavioural issues which supports the school with achieving their goals.
In the pics , we partnered with Kraaifontein High School in Cape Town.
A few weeks ago, we proudly concluded our Power of Impact program at Kraaifontein High School, part of our Learn for Change initiative. This 3-month journey was an incredible opportunity to empower the Glow Club and School Prefects with essential skills in Basic Project Management and Fundraising. The students showed remarkable growth and engagement, embracing the tools and strategies needed to bring their future projects to life.
To wrap up the program, we were honoured to have Liezel Snyman from the Beautifully Flawed Foundation lead a powerful session titled “A Letter to My Future Self” and “Finding My North Star.” Her focus on the importance of self-reflection as a tool for setting and achieving life goals deeply resonated with the students, leaving them inspired to pursue their dreams with clarity and purpose.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the management team at Kraaifontein High School for partnering with us and providing the space to work with such bright young minds. Special thanks to the social worker, Ms. Bonani, and the head of the Glow Club, Ms. Winnaar, for their unwavering commitment and support throughout the program. Together, we are shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
