Real transformations from cadets and communities across the Cape Flats
Hear directly from cadets, families, and partners about the transformation they've experienced
SA Youth Cadets changed my life completely. I was heading down the wrong path, but the discipline, love, and guidance I received here showed me I could be so much more. Now I'm a senior cadet helping others find their way.
As a parent, I've watched my daughter transform from a shy girl into a confident young woman. The values of honour, courage, and commitment have become part of who she is. I'm grateful for this program every single day.
The hikes taught me that I'm stronger than I thought. When we reached the summit together, I realized that with the right support and determination, nothing is impossible. This program showed me my potential.
Working with SA Youth Cadets has been incredibly rewarding. The organization's commitment to holistic youth development and community service aligns perfectly with our mission. Together, we're building a stronger Cape Flats.
I never knew art could help me express myself so clearly. The arts program gave me a voice when I didn't have words. Now I use creativity to inspire other young people facing challenges like I did.
The spiritual retreats provided a safe space for deep reflection and growth. I learned to understand my values and how to live them daily. This program doesn't just teach discipline, it nurtures the whole person.
