The Boxer Youth Leadership has become one of South Africa’s most sought after programmes to come out of the retail space. With more than two decades of history, the weeklong programme is an opportunity for school learners to learn vital lessons about leadership, education, knowledge and the overcoming of personal barriers.

A Place to Grow

The Programme, which began in 2002, is designed to provide disadvantaged youth with the same leadership training grounds available to learners from more fortunate homes. The five-day adventure-filled Programme provides a platform for learners to challenge their limits, confront their fears and inspire a life-long confidence that will enable them to determine their own fate, no matter the obstacles they encounter. Mature, teenage boys and girls learn to trust, support and motivate each other as they navigate a series of unique challenges that includes abseiling and navigating a lazy river on their self-built rafts.

There is a sense of camaraderie and joy that is built within each learner as they get to know their fellow Programme teammates and themselves over the week.

Boxer has been committed to uplifting the lives of learners from Eswatini and South Africa through the Programme and is proud to see how it has given those with drive the motivation to succeed in life. After all, today’s learners are tomorrow’s leaders!

Positively shaping the minds
of today’s young learners
and the leaders
of tomorrow.”
