Youth Ambassadors Sports Program Outreach

Youth Ambassadors Sports Program Outreach (YASPO) is a community-based organization that uses sports and life skills to promote healthy behaviors among local youth. The organization uses a ‘youth teaching youth’ model to foster opportunities for out-of-school youth and to inspire change. It currently engages twenty four local youth who serve as ambassadors by running programs and educating their peers on sensitive subjects such as HIV/AIDS, puberty, teenage pregnancy and gender based violence. YASPO is located in Lefiso Village, Mpumalanga Province of South Africa.
