Our mission is to support initiatives and enabling programmes to co-create permanent job opportunities for young unemployed South Africans and help reduce youth unemployment, poverty, and crime. Providing sustainable resource solutions to growing industries will create confidence in the South African people and ensure long-term economic stability.
Shadow Academy Global (SAG) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2020 by like-hearted partners in order to eradicate youth unemployment in South Africa.
Training and personal development opportunities are essential to our partnership philosophy, which provides continuous support in creating environments and systems where individuals are empowered, transformed, and impacted. As part of the partnership model, we offer long-term support to our partners to enrich their ecosystem, which supports youth empowerment and employment. Our beneficiaries are part of our contribution to environmental and social responsibility.
As our first partner organisation, we partnered with Shadow Careers, a job creation initiative through impact sourcing, to provide purpose-specific short programmes that supported and advanced the organisation's primary objectives.
In our mission to make a lasting difference in as many lives as possible, we have donated furniture to our beneficiaries, RLabs and Shadow Careers.

Many permanent careers have been created through our support of partners, with a broader impact than just the individual or the role, but also on the families of those employees and the local community in which they live.
As our partner organizations create permanent employment opportunities for young people, it enables them to not only commence a permanent career, but also develop and evolve through the learning opportunities the employer provides.
Our mission at Shadow Academy Global is to support young people going through career development programmes affiliated with our partners in order to create economic independence.
Permanent employment removes barriers to economic independence and allows young people to build a better future for themselves, their families, and communities.
Our support has facilitated access to learning and skills development in communities, which in turn provides permanent employment opportunities for economically excluded youth.
As part of South Africa's value proposition, this provides stakeholders who offshore jobs to South Africa with environmental, social, and corporate responsibility benefits.
Social benefits of economic inclusion include a reduction in gender-based violence, drug addiction, crime, gangsterism, and the spread of immune system disorders.

Improved living conditions and the ability to build a better and more secure future indirectly affect families in local communities.
Economic migration does not occur solely in Cape Town, but in rural areas in and around South Africa such as the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal as well, so economic benefits reach far and wide.
Creating jobs and attracting foreign investment benefits the local economy and the overall economy.
With our support and partnership philosophy, generating permanent job opportunities for unemployed youth creates a virtuous cycle that pays it forward.

Our vision can only be realised with the support of funders and partners. South Africa is not the only country experiencing youth unemployment; it is a global issue. It is through our partners that we are able to make a lasting difference in the lives of our most vulnerable and excluded youth, as well as contribute to the future of our society as a whole. You can donate or become a funding partner. South Africa's value proposition includes environmental, social, and corporate responsibility benefits for stakeholders who offshore jobs to the country.
Get in touch with us soon, and be a part of the change.
