Mobilising Future Careers for South Africa's Youth

Just over a year ago we pitched two open tents with a trailer and offered job-readiness workshops to youth in Worcester.  It was the birth of the Mobile Career Café, an initiative that proved to be brilliantly simple, and simply, brilliant. Since inception, the MCC visited 9 communities and reached 254 young people.  We could only do this, because of your support. 

The MCC recently visited a rural community and solely engaged with children of farmworkers in the area.  The lack of job-readiness services has a severe debilitating effect on the employment prospects of these young people; and basic information and personal engagement proved very impactful on different levels.  Further support and exposure to more developmental opportunities will propel them into sustainable futures; and that’s the next step we are aiming at with the MCC.

One year after the start of the MCC, we have more requests for the MCC to visit areas - and return to the areas already visited - than what we can cope with. The Mobile Career Café Crew is now planning how to take this game changing initiative to the next level. We will only grow from here!

THANK YOU for enabling AVA to provide much needed employment education services to young people from underserved communities in South Africa.   Your continued support will help us develop this initiative to become even more impactful.  Please consider sharing the project link within your network of friends, family and colleagues.  Again, thank you!
