A 100% FREE & inclusive youth development & leadership programme for high school learners across South Africa.
Imagine a world where every challenge can become an opportunity, and every dream can become a reality.
That opportunity is Jumpstart, Powered by Gift of the Givers. The Jumpstart Programme and Jumpstart Club can help you become a catalyst for change in your school and community. Now’s the time to take action, break the divide, stand together, and show up!
Becoming a Superhero can be fun and life-changing, but it also requires taking responsibility – and that starts with YOU!
Let’s be loudly and proudly South African and bring about positive change – one school at a time. Our teams are there to support you, cheer for you, and guide you, because We Believe in You!
“Our youth are our country’s greatest asset. To build a better South Africa, we must invest in our youth from an early age. We need to support and equip them with the necessary tools and skills if we want them to succeed beyond the classroom. Leadership is not defined by age but by purpose, good intentions, compassion, and ethics. We need a generation that will take accountability and lead with empathy, vision, and integrity.”
