Community Chest’s strategic partnership with the Western Cape Government supports elements across our key focus areas of Education, Health, Income Generation and Community Development. Our partnership seeks collaborative solutions to social challenges. In our focus on impactful and measurable change in both the youth and education sectors, we embarked on a formal partnership with the Western Cape Government’s Youth and After School Programme Office (YASPO) in the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS). The partnership has two foci. The first is on providing 18 to 25 year olds who are NEETS with work experience and support to become active, productive residents. This is achieved through the YearBeyond Programme, a multi-stakeholder youth service initiative. The programme provides young people with meaningful work, personal and professional development, and social and economic connections to support their transition into studies or work. Each year thousands of young people’s lives are changed through the programme. The second focus is on helping learners, through After School Programmes, find and pursue their passion. This involves advocating for After School Programmes, building the capacity of the people offering these programmes and engaging youth in running After School Programmes.

It also worked with YASPO to grow the YearBeyond, youthservice programme. Part of the growth included bringing on board another funder, Michael and Susan Dell Foundation focused on the youth development curriculum and wellbeing support eco-system and the development of post programme opportunities.
