Why we walk
More than a walk.
A meeting point.
Youth unemployment is the challenge of our generation. The Touch The Future Walk brings the people looking for opportunity and the people who can create it onto the same road, on the same morning.
Every step is a statement that young South Africans are ready to work, learn and lead. Every partner who walks with us is a door that can open.
Who the walk connects
Five groups. One road.
The walk links everyone who has a part in a young person's first job: the people looking for work, the people learning, the people who train them, the people who hire them, and the people who shape the system around them.
