Project Youth reach out has been running for 4 years. We have been stationed at Tygersig primary School (Uitsig) and Ravensmead High School (Ravensmead), situated in the Cape Flats. We are currently teaching ages 10-13 at the Primary school with an attendance of about 20 children and ages 13-16 at the High School with an attendance of about 20 children. The numbers fluctuate as some children come and go, but the amounts given are the dedicated ones who attend eagerly and diligently. This is a continuous project which will run for as long as possible and with the co-operation of the schools involved. Continuous dance classes are taught twice a week, training them in Classical Ballet and contemporary dance to ensure skills development and progression. Regular attendance registers are taken to ensure the dedication and commitment from the youth. Our programme for 2017 entails weekly dance classes with a progress report at the end of each school term, as to encourage the youth to return to class in the new term. The youth receive a certificate at the end of the school year in order to progress to the next dance level or grade. The Youth had the opportunity to perform on a professional stage this year as part of the Baxter dance festival 2017. This falls in line with our objective of youth exposure on professional platforms with the hopes that they will be able to grow into it as a profession some day. more >

The need to remedy learning and mental development problems has spawned an entire industry of very expensive practices, but GETWISE believes that the proper neural programming and focus on reading and language development lies at the heart of most of these problems. Some of our Primary schools are overcrowded and it makes it impossible for our teachers to give individual attention GETWISE Programs have been designed to be able to address every level of difficulty experienced by learners. Every new learner is assessed by a GETWISE facilitator to determine his/her current level of development so that the exact entry level of the appropriate program (Sound, Word or Reading Empowerment) can be followed. more >
GUYOLOGY workshops are aimed at inspiring , equipping and transforming young men to become whole, responsible, well adjusted adults with virtuous values, high emotional intelligence and a healthy respect for themselves , women, children and society. GUYOLOGY is based on the realization that there are processes, and essential contributing factors, that young guys need to be exposed to, so they can grow to become their purpose driven selves. As attention is given to empowering our young women, the guys are in need of the same enrichment to ensure they are equally positioned to succeed. One of these essential factors is having a positive father / male -figure in their lives who plays a critical part in promoting a healthy outlook of self, provides a knowledge base of how - as far as possible - how he ought to behave, teach the difference between right and wrong and advising on how to best handle the twists and turns as he transforms to play the biggest role in his life; being the man expected to protect & provide for himself, family and community more >
