ABOUT OPAL STUDENTS EMPOWERMENT FOUNDATION

OpaL Students Empowerment Foundation is a platform aimed at empowering the youth of

South Africa to be independent leaders of impact. The platform empowers the youth to reach
their full potential through education, mentorship and innovative development programmes
designed to enhance their total well-being. Our programs focus mainly on work integrated
learning as a tool to prepare our young people for a successful work readiness. We encourage
the youth to understand the importance of academic excellence before anything.

Our Vision is to provide a platform that makes opportunities accessible for the youth (e.g.,
mentorship, work opportunities, work integrated learning opportunities, training &
development opportunities, property investment learnerships, OpaL Students Podcast, etc).

Our bold commitment to the youth is a testament that we will continue to serve the needs of
the youth and elevating their voices and ideas. In addition, we are committed to building a
platform where young people can have a safe place to develop positive relationships with
others, find direction for their lives and contribute positively to their communities.

▪ We are mindful of the unemployment challenges facing majority of the youth

population of our country, leading to the many identified social ills such as crime, and
violence. At OpaL Students Empowerment Foundation, we are committed to bringing
impact programs that provides opportunities for growth.
▪ Our Core Values includes accountability, excellence, transformation, integrity, respect
and teamwork.

OUR SLOGAN IS LIVE-LEARN-CONNECT.
