ABOUT TPA

---

The President's Award for Youth Empowerment is a registered non-profit organisation, which has been operating  in South Africa since 1983. Our mission, with the assistance of adult volunteer leaders, is to empower young people between the ages of 14 and 25, by providing a balanced, non-competitive framework for self-development that will increase their self-esteem and enhance their capacity to achieve in whatever context they find themselves: enabling them to become responsible active citizens within their communities.

A DEVELOPMENT TOOL FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

Development is one of the cornerstones of empowerment. The Award Programme has proven itself to be a powerful developmental tool for young people. The core of the Programme is based on self-development.

 

The four pillars of the Programme, skill development, physical recreation, community service and the adventurous journey, change the youths' perception about themselves and their world and it teaches them about vital issues such as health, political and social life, as well as the environment.

 

Completion of the Programme also equips the individual for further training and fulfilling work. As the youth integrate the values of the Programme into their lives, they become empowered, believing that they can turn their dreams into realities. Empowered youth can make informed choices and are less likely to compromise their future.

 

The President's Award can be justifiably proud of the part the organisation has played in bringing about these changed lives since 1983.

CHALLENGING YOUNG PEOPLE EVERYWHERE!

TPA has committed itself to the ensuring that South Africa's youth are challenged to be able to look beyond their barriers and to set goals and not limits. We believe that the challenge is for young people to make things happen rather than waiting for things to happen. We believe in Challenging Young People Everywhere !
