Celebrating 25 years of excellence in holistic youth development
Changing the tide of youth unemployment since 2000
Millions of South African young people face unemployment due to the country’s slow economic growth and partly because they lack proper guidance on finding jobs.
Since 2000, Chrysalis Academy has helped hundreds of youth break free from the trend of unemployment and step into a world of possibility, purpose and income.
Just like a caterpillar needs a safe space to transform into a butterfly, our Academy is the cocoon needed for restored hope and ignited purpose.
