Join us for the second annual YD Co-Lab Youth Development Summit, titled 'Rethink & Explore: Honest Conversations, Bold Solutions' — a full-day gathering of organisations, practitioners, funders, policymakers, and youth leaders committed to strengthening South Africa’s youth development ecosystem.
Building on the momentum of our 2024 summit, this year’s event will create space to connect, co-create, and collaborate around the critical issues and opportunities shaping youth development in South Africa. From policy and practice to innovation and funding, we’ll bring together diverse actors to share insights, forge partnerships, and inspire action.
Expect dynamic keynote sessions, interactive breakouts, practical tools, and real conversations that aim to move beyond talk and into collective impact.

- Researchers, educators & ecosystem builders
- Youth-led and youth-serving initiatives
- Funders, CSI practitioners, and government stakeholders

Let’s shape the future of youth development, together.
