Our Programmes
We focus our programs on four main development pillars:
Academic, Technology, Personal, and Community development.
Academic Development
The academic development pillar aims to provide the necessary resources and assistance to facilitate learners in reaching their academic potential, namely through the MAP (Mathematics, Accounting and Physical Sciences) Program.
MAP Program
The aim is to create an environment in which JCP tutors can pass on their experience and knowledge, specifically in mathematics, physics and accounting, to high school learners in communities where the learning opportunities are limited. Each JCP group will be assigned to a group of high school learners for which they (as a team) will be responsible. Furthermore, each JCP student in the group will be assigned to 1 (or 2) of these individual high school learners for a more individualised learning experience.
Technological Development
The lack of exposure to ICT, computing and engineering in these poorer communities have deprived learners with brilliant potential of the opportunity to make a significant impact in these industries.
Robotics/Coding Program
This program aims to introduce learners to critical thinking and problem-solving skills required to create simple programs and to implement simple robotic applications. The program progresses to more advanced activities such as learning to program in popular programming languages such as Python and Java as well as on microprocessors.
Computer Literacy Program
The greatest shortcoming of the South African education system is the disparity in computer literacy programs. Many school learners from communities in and around Gauteng, do not have access to basic computer literacy skills. This program aims to provide learners from rural communities with an opportunity to learn lifelong skills that will enable them to work comfortably on a computer and common software programs.
Personal Development
Facilitates an environment in which people from different walks of life can mutually benefit from an exchange of ideas and experiences to accelerate their personal development.
Building Victorious Women Program
This program aims to inspire and empower young women from rural communities to break the perceptions of gender norms that are commonplace in communities in South Africa. The JCP students will be required to assist in STEM program specifically designed and catered for young South African women.
Mentorship Program
The aim of the program is to facilitate an environment in which people from different walks of life can mutually benefit from an exchange of ideas and experiences. The JCP students will be grouped with a mentee which they will assist in accelerating their personal and academic development.
Community Development
The aim is to build more sustainability into struggling communities. This involves everything from building projects to initiatives working on the planting and maintenance of vegetation gardens.
Building Sustainable Communities Program
The program aims to create a more sustainable community for families in less fortunate communities. This involves everything from building projects to the planting of sustainable vegetation initiatives.
