Youth 4 African Wildlife (Y4AW) is a registered Non-Profit Organisation working with youths to create global conservation ambassadors. The organisation was founded in 2013 by South African conservationist, businessman, and YPO member Dex Kotze. Y4AW mainly focuses on the awareness and species protection aspects of conservation.
True to our mission statement, we mainly raise awareness through experiential research, social media, photography and film. This is packaged in the form of a conservation internship aimed at young adults from all over the world. We also raise awareness through community outreach aimed at young adults within the greater Kruger National Park area. Most funds raised by Y4AW go to various NGOs dedicated to species protection. Although relatively young the organisation has made great progress in raising awareness and promoting species protection.
