See Youth by Cell C - a dynamic and holistic youth development program designed to bridge the gender gap and empower young people to shape their futures.
This initiative goes beyond education—it’s about real transformation. SEE YOUTH equips the youth with the skills, resources, and support they need to overcome socio-economic challenges, including Gender-Based Violence (GBV), unemployment, and child-headed households.
With a focus on social connections, learning, entrepreneurship, and wellness (spanning physical, emotional, and mental well-being), SEE YOUTH serves as a guiding light, helping young people navigate life and step into adulthood with confidence.
Connect with SEE YOUTH
SEE YOUTHCell C has partnered with Tomorrow Trust to support the development of 30 Grade 9 learners in Gauteng.
The partnership focuses on academic, psychosocial, career, and digital development for orphaned and vulnerable children and youth. This will be achieved by delivering support to children in school from Grade 9 up to Grade 12 - via Holiday and Saturday School Programmes.
At the end of the programme, these 30 girls and boys will be well-equipped in understanding their own strengths and capabilities when choosing a career path. The development of these learners will also include workshops and career guidance, ensuring they are prepared for future opportunities.
As an ICT enabler, Cell C is also providing the tools and critical resources to ensure future success within a 4IR environment. This includes, but not limited to:
✓ Robotics
✓ Coding
✓ Digital literacy

Twenty-three years ago, Cell C launched “Take A Girl Child To Work Day” to expose young girls to a wide range of careers, aiming to bridge the gender inequality gap. This initiative has since reached over a million youths, with support from schools, businesses, and governments, making strides towards a more equitable world.
In a move towards full inclusivity, Cell C has now expanded the program to welcome all children, regardless of gender. This step reflects our commitment to equality, ensuring every child has the chance to pursue their dreams in a society that values equal opportunities for all.
