About us




Our ethos
Positive Youth Base is an organisation aimed at spreading a positive mind set through experiential learning programmes which are an extension of Life Orientation and creating social consciousness and educational awareness for the youth.
  
We believe that the youth occupies a special place in our social environment; the future of any society depends on the practical and spiritual moulding of the youth. Young people in our country are looking for genuine ideas and values which they can live by.

Youth is the time of life between childhood and adulthood the inexperience of the young provides an opportunity for a systematic process of leadership upbringing. This involves heavy decision making for the youth. What they need is a point from which to develop a base.
Positive thinking is a mental attitude that enters into our thoughts, words and images. Positive thinking is conductive to growth, expansion and success. It’s a mental attitude that expects good and favourable results it anticipates happiness, joy and heath. We believe that the future is in the youths hands. Our values are underscored by 3 key principles integrity, sustainability and Ubuntu.


Our objectives are to:
1.      Empower young women in high schools through a positive mindset programme
2.      Create social awareness
3.      Create educational opportunities for youths to be acquainted with higher learning institutions
Our vision is to cultivate an empowered, educated, self sustaining and socially aware generation. Our mission is laid out by the words of Nelson Mandela:
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead”
Nelson Mandela
