Transforming companies, communities and youth lives by connecting youth to economic opportunity and dignity and together, building a future that works. The mission of Yes4Youth, is to create, by connecting with companies, work opportunities for South African youth at scale. To increase youth employability through the provision of CVs, reference letters and transition South African youth to earning future incomes. To achieve this by leveraging B-BBEE policy for better, and more meaningful company impact and performance.

SAYouth is a free and zero-rated national platform that connects talented and engaged work seekers to various opportunities including – YES, Full-time jobs, Part-time jobs, learnerships, volunteering and learning opportunities.

Yes4Youth transforms the work seeking experience of young South Africans from being complicated and costly to one which is accessible and less expensive.

SAYouth is supported by the Presidency, YES, National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) and Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator as part of the Presidential Youth Employment Intervention. YES, is business-led collaboration that seeks out groundbreaking ways, through innovation and technological best practice, to reignite the economy and give youth a dignified first chance. The YES 12-month quality work experience equips unemployed youth with a toolkit to be a beacon of hope for their families, households and communities. The CV & reference letter they get at the end of their 12-months gives them a 3 x greater chance of an interview call-back.

Youth can be placed in your own business or if you prefer to outsource but still change your country for the better, place youth via a range of high impact turnkey partners by creating much needed jobs in communities.

Other building blocks include our YES Hubs in communities. These take both work and training to where youth live and operate. And finally, crowdfunding, through Fund-a-Future, where the public can also help make a youth dream come true.
