What is the RADA Youth Project?
The RADA Youth Project is designed to empower young individuals by enabling them to lead projects aimed at uplifting underprivileged communities.
The program offers a unique opportunity for youth to form a dedicated Youth Team, tasked with identifying pressing problems or challenges within their chosen community and devising innovative solutions to address them. The RADA Youth committee will be required to submit a comprehensive business proposal detailing the identified challenge, their proposed solution, and the logistical framework for implementation. With the assistance of RADA’s mentorship and resources, the Youth Team will execute their project.
Providing the opportunity to youth empowers South Africans to believe that together they can bring about positive change within their local communities.
Which Communities are earmarked for the RADA Youth Project?
The aim is to assist all communities within South Africa. RADA will commence with the Gauteng Province and will expand to surrounding Provinces once the processes and procedures of the strategy are proficient.
