About Us

The YeBo Academy is the capacity building arm of the YeBo Institute. Drawing on YearBeyond’s experience in the youth development sector, the YeBo Academy runs experiential training offerings that are informed by over a decade of knowledge, experience and best practices. These offerings are designed to have practical applications for aspiring and experienced professionals working with young people in South Africa.

Currently, the YeBo Academy’s training offerings are as follows:
