Who We Are:
Inspired by the transformative influence of an NGO within his community during the early 2000s, Lesego Tshabalala, the founder, embodies the profound impact such an organization can have on a young person’s life. His personal experience ignited a fervent commitment to pay forward this legacy, culminating in the establishment of Get Informed Youth Development Centre – Centre of Hope (“Get Informed”) in 2013.
As a youth-led Non-Profit Organization (NPO), Get Informed is dedicated to catalyzing positive change for future generations. The organization’s primary objective revolves around connecting youth with diverse economic opportunities, be it formal employment, self-employment, or entrepreneurship.
This strategic focus directly contributes to reducing youth unemployment and effectively bridging the gap in employment opportunities.
Over the past decade, our centres have experienced exponential growth, serving as dynamic hubs offering information, knowledge, and essential skills. By providing access to relevant opportunities, Get Informed plays a pivotal role in empowering the communities it serves. Notably, the organization has earned recognition from the Department of Social Development as a key socio-economic upliftment partner, esteemed for its expertise, know-how, and acclaimed best practice model.
Get Informed stands as a beacon of hope and empowerment, steering the youth towards a brighter future while fostering a thriving community enriched with opportunities and sustainable growth.
