Catch Them Young

Access to Learning Experiences is not Equal. We bring future skills to local kids in underserved communities and schools across Africa.

Catch Them Young partners with schools, communities and organizations to bring practical, age-appropriate future skills like Digital, Financial Capability, Entrepreneurship and Emotional Smarts learning closer to children who may otherwise have limited access to these opportunities.

Our Mission

Give local kids the opportunity to start building the capabilities to navigate every future occupation that will exist, or challenge they will encounter.

We cannot know every technology they will use, every occupation that will exist or every challenge they will encounter.

But we can give them opportunities to start building the capabilities to learn, adapt, create, make decisions, work with others and explore possibilities.

And we can start where they are — in their schools, in their classrooms, in their communities.

Our Approach

Future Skills Aren't Just Taught. They're Experienced.

Catch Them Young moves beyond traditional classroom instruction. We create age-appropriate experiences that encourage children to explore, experiment, create and make decisions. Each stream may use different technologies and learning methods, but they share one simple approach.

Ideas & Innovation

Encouraging curiosity, imagination, problem-solving and the creation of new ideas.

Technology Exposure

Introducing learners to relevant technologies and digital experiences appropriate to each learning stream.

Practice & Experimentation

Giving children opportunities to try things, test ideas, make mistakes and learn through experimentation.

Projects & Challenges

Using age-appropriate projects, challenges and decisions to turn learning into practical application.

Scenarios & Activities

Bringing concepts to life through realistic situations, games, simulations, discussions and interactive activities.

Create & Demonstrate

Giving learners opportunities to build, present, explain or demonstrate what they have learned.
