PutYouthOn (PYO) is a youth-led platform founded in Botswana by Mandipa Hlabano. We connect young people to opportunities, resources, skills, networks and platforms that help them learn, lead, build and create impact.
Too many young people miss opportunities simply because they never hear about them, or do not have the information to apply with confidence. PutYouthOn helps young people discover opportunities beyond their immediate environments, and equips them with the information, resources and connections to pursue them.
We focus on Botswana, Southern Africa and the wider African continent, with connections across the world.
Scholarships and academic opportunities, fellowships and leadership programmes, jobs and remote work, internships and graduate programmes, conferences and exchanges, entrepreneurship programmes, grants and competitions, training, awards, volunteering, mentorship and application resources.
Amplifying young people's voices in governance, policy, innovation and social change through discussions, webinars, radio and youth forums.
Helping young people become entrepreneurs, innovators, problem-solvers and opportunity creators.
PutYouthOn was founded by Mandipa Hlabano in Botswana to open doors for young Africans and to make sure their voices are heard.
