Infinite Family

Infinite Family was established in the early years of South Africa's democracy to help its most marginalised teens create successful and productive futures. For most young Black South Africans, just at the time they need to be developing habits and skills that will make them productive and self-reliant, their daily reality includes food insecurity, inescapable violence and toxic stress, inadequate contact with positive role models, and low community expectations and prospects for success. Infinite Family's network of global volunteer mentors provide an invaluable link between these township teens and the wider world to help them build skills and navigate the challenges they face during their school years … into the job market … and on to financial independence.

Equip African Teens to Succeed

When teens grow up in poverty, staying focused in school can be tough. But those who do and work hard have the best chance of changing their lives for the better. Infinite Family works with African teens from badly under-resourced communities where most are left behind. We provide the tech access and support they need to thrive in the 21st century. And our ground-breaking video mentorship program helps them develop the skills, resilience, and motivation to make their way in the world.

Make College Possible for African Students

Infinite Family provides Black unemployed and undereducated young adults a new way to complete high school and obtain college and university degrees in the townships where they live. Sponsoring young adults to study online in our LaunchPads: 1. Reverses the legacy of racist apartheid-era laws, e 2. Eliminates transport and remote living costs, and 3. Makes it easier and more feasible for students to succeed and obtain or create new job opportunities for themselves.

Prepare South African Teens to Succeed in School,

South African teens growing up in marginalized communities can propel themselves and their families out of generations of poverty and into the middle class in one generation - if they finish 12th grade and go to college. As part of our Infinite Family, you provide wrap-around support and structures that allow teens to not only improve their prospects at school but, critically, beyond that, in work and life. You provide the tech access and support they need to succeed in the 21st century.
