The enke: Trailblazer Plus(+) Program inspires and supports Grade 8-11 high school youth to create real change in their communities. It is a 9-month leadership and social action program that empowers elected Learner Leaders (RCLs / Prefects) and other aspiring high school leaders to design and lead School and Community Action Projects that contribute to advancing School Improvement Plans.
Participants design and run projects to address the social issues they feel passionate about. Through this experience, participants increase their grit, social responsibility, self-efficacy and social capital, while gaining practical experience in project management and leadership.
Through the Trailblazer+ Program, we introduce high school students to other like-minded, passionate and enthusiastic young people. Participants learn skills that will help them achieve their dreams and use these skills to design and run a project in their community. Participants walk away from the experience having made an impact on their communities and are inspired to continue to make change happen.
This is a national program that encourages participation from youth from every province in South Africa and beyond. Across the years, we have had youth from as far as Windhoek, Namibia and Nairobi, Kenya, participate in the Trailblazer Program!
