The National Youth Service is not just about creating temporary jobs. It is about shaping young people into confident, skilled citizens who contribute to the well-being of their communities.

With unemployment on the rise in South Africa, Seriti Institute (NPC), as an implementing partner of the National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), has been driving change at the ground level through the National Youth Service (NYS) Programme. Working alongside local implementing partners, this initiative is not just about creating short-term work opportunities but about empowering young people with skills, resilience, and pathways to build sustainable futures.
