NXT GEN Pre-Launch Workshop 1

NXT GEN Foundation officially began its journey with its NPC Pre-Launch at the ABM iTrump Centre in Durban. The event introduced NXT GEN Foundation’s vision of empowering young people through skills development, employment opportunities, leadership, mentorship and community-driven initiatives. The presentation highlighted some of the major challenges facing young people and communities, including youth unemployment, limited economic opportunities, skills erosion, poverty and social instability. It also introduced NXT GEN’s approach to addressing these challenges through practical skills development, entrepreneurship, digital literacy, leadership development, advocacy and partnerships with businesses, mentors and municipal stakeholders. A key focus of the event was the importance of collaboration. NXT GEN invited stakeholders, sponsors, businesses and community partners to contribute through resources, expertise, mentorship, advocacy and opportunities for young people, helping transform youth-led ideas into sustainable community solutions.
