The initiative is about giving back to the community in a practical manner. The aim is to get involved in the real world, problem-posing situations in order to change and improve the situation. To really understand the value of contribution and giving to society / community. Promoting Youth Service. A group project to address a contemporary social issue that impacts negatively on local and/or global communities. Teams must identify a course and write a report that must convince the YLED team that the project is worthwhile. Persuade them that the civic contribution and responsibility is possible in South Africa.

Multimedia Project
The aim is to capture the experience of the programme. It must be in a spectacular combination of pictures, sounds, words and images that convey the group and the cohort’s experience of the YLED Programme both inside and outside the classroom throughout the course of the programme.

Positive Word
All the YLED learners have a positive word that two YLEDers will be presenting at the start and at the end of the sessions until the end of the Entrepreneurship Challenge. Each week, two learners will present on the word allocated to them by the facilitator in their presentations they will include a story relating the word as well as what they learned from the story in relation to the respective word. This is driving self and team motivation as well as improving presentation skills of the participants.
