George Youth Forum (YFG) is a platform of youth in George. Representing different organisations, we believe youth organisations are the tool through which we empower, encourage, involve, represent, reach out and support young people. The Youth Forum brings together thousands of young people from all over George, organised in order to represent their common interests. The Youth Forum works to empow
er young people to participate actively in society to improve their own lives by representing and advocating their needs and interest and those of their organisations. In the current uncertain political and social context that affects young people, they can be powerful catalysts for positive change and contributors of innovative solutions to South Africa’s problems. To overcome the challenges faced by young people, the George Youth Forum has three main goals:
Greater youth participation
Stronger youth organisations
Increased youth autonomy and inclusion
With these goals in mind, the Youth Forum will continue its advocacy work to become an agenda-setter on youth affairs, empower member organisations to maximise the impact of their expertise and enforce a rights-based approach in all that it does.
