Mission

Youth Potential South Africa - YOUPSA paves the way to awaken the creativity, potential and purpose in the rural youth of South Africa. YOUPSA brings education alive by igniting the inner spark in youth. When children discover their 'spark', they tap into their own unique talents and interests. Youth who have the ability to express their own personality and know what motivates them to do their best, develop into people who have a sense of purpose, empathy and social competence, who achieve higher academic performance and contribute to the well-being of their greater community.
