The Chrysalis Academy is one of the leading social crime prevention & youth development organisations in South Africa, which empowers young people ‘at risk’ to take responsibility for their personal growth.

This is achieved through a 5-year development program which starts with an intensive 3-month residential empowerment training at the Academy in Tokai. The Training is divided into 4 phases: Orientation, Outdoor, Skills and Community Phase.

Throughout the program, the students have access to individual counseling and life coaching based on individual assessment. Furthermore, parent workshops and family sessions are offered to promote positive parenting and caring families in the community.

After graduation, the students are encouraged to give back to their communities as positive role models by volunteering at the established Chrysalis Community Youth Clubs. The graduates will be continuously tracked and further supported for 5 years to ensure that sustainable personal growth is achieved. (Aftercare Program)
