'Since working with youth in 1999, I (Pierre) have seen so much hurt, pain, disappointment, brokenness, anger, resentment, unforgiveness, depression, hopelessness, and confusion in the lives of young people (as well as their families).

Phase 1
EXTENSIVE LIFE-SKILLS Program
S-M-A-R-T YOUTH aims to empower schools/colleges, and other youth institutions, by equipping learners through the most comprehensive Life-Skills Program for YOUNG PEOPLE in South Africa.
Our program is backed by 16 years+ experience, working with young people from all walks of life. Our dedicated team of well-equipped individuals is committed to love and serve our precious youth – guiding them to live lives of purpose, empowering them to transform their environments.
WHY the title? S-M-A-R-T Youth, making wise choices!
We know and understand that many of our youth are depressed, oppressed and even bound by the things that confront them every day. We have been called to ASSIST young people in breaking the chains of oppression, that keep them bound in many areas of their lives, GUIDING them to live S-M-A-R-T lives, empowering them to embrace wholeness, joy, freedom, peace, and individuality, enabling them to live a balanced life of purpose and destiny. Our young people's lives MATTER!
Our Young People MATTER – their lives MATTER!
Our life-skills program will NOT be presented from a religious perspective, and is thus OPEN to ALL LEARNERS from the age of twelve (12), as already mentioned. We will ADDRESS all the CORE ISSUES that CONFRONT our precious YOUTH every day, including:- Peer Pressure; Acceptance and Rejection; Love; Racism; Anger; Rebellion; Loneliness; Dating & Rape; All forms of Abuse; Smoking; Alcohol Abuse; Substance (drug) Abuse; Sex, including STD's, STI's & HIV/AIDS; Pregnancy & Abortion; Music & its effects; Sport; Depression; Suicide; Making Informed choices/decisions; Pursuing their Purpose, keeping their Dream/s alive, and Reaching their Destiny.
Our quality life-skills book, comprising 210 full-color A5 pages, has been completed. Our program is well researched, and based on facts - not emotion. Our information sessions will be interactive, and include visuals (video clips) as well.
Our aim is to seek, train and deploy Life-Coaches in schools/colleges and youth institutions across South Africa.
These Life-Coaches will present our life-skills program during preferably LO periods, over a duration of two (2) terms.
Our selection process and requirements for all Life-Coaches will be strict.
Life-Coaches will be recruited, screened, interviewed, appointed, and continually monitored & mentored.
Our pre-requisites for prospective Life-Coaches are:
* In-depth training, plus several assessment tasks.
* Life-Coaches must live a clean moral life – no exceptions.
* Life-Coaches must be mentally and emotionally STABLE.
* No alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or any other form of dependency (addiction).

Life-Coaches will be monitored and mentored to ensure effective service delivery and project sustainability.
INTEGRITY, RESPECT, PATIENCE, COMPASSION, and EMPATHY are NON-NEGOTIABLE(S).
Salaries for Junior and Senior Life-Coaches will be dependent on qualification(s) and experience, and will start with R5,000 a month. Transformation SA (incorporating S-M-A-R-T YOUTH) will operate as a NPC (Non-Profit Section 21 Company), and are thus dependent on donations and sponsorships to train, deploy and mentor Life-Coaches.
