Empowering South African Youth: NYDA Brings "Taking Parliament to the People" to the North West

The National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) has officially extended an open invitation to all young people and current NYDA beneficiaries for an upcoming series of engagement sessions. Under the banner of the "Taking Parliament to the People" programme, these events are designed to bridge the gap between youth aspirations and government-led opportunities.

Whether you have already benefited from NYDA initiatives—such as grants, vouchers, or Business Management Training (BMT)—or are a newcomer looking for a way to kickstart your career or business, these sessions offer a vital platform for growth and information.

Event Schedule: Wednesday, 06 May 2026

The NYDA team will be hosting simultaneous and staggered sessions across three key locations in the North West province. Mark your calendars for the following times and venues:

Location	Venue	Time
Potchefstroom	OR Tambo Hall	09h00
Orkney	Kanana Ext 13 Office	09h30
Ventersdorp	Boikhutso Community Centre	13h00

Why You Should Attend

The NYDA emphasizes that these sessions are not just for first-timers. Even if you have attended previous workshops or programmes, the agency encourages you to return to stay updated on new developments.

• Access to Opportunities: Learn how to apply for financial and non-financial support.

• Practical Life Skills: Beyond business, the sessions focus on essential skills for navigating the modern economy.

• Direct Engagement: Speak directly with representatives to understand how the "Taking Parliament to the People" programme impacts your local community.

"There is always something new to learn, especially when it comes to practical life skills." — NYDA
