The National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) will host the 100 Days in Office engagement of the newly appointed NYDA Board, led by Executive Chairperson Dr Sunshine Myende.
The engagement and celebration will:
- Reflect on achievements recorded between 01 August and 08 November 2025
- Provide progress updates on commitments made during community and beneficiary engagements
- Highlight institutional governance improvements
- Outline the Board’s priorities for the next phase of its term
Ahead of the 100 Days celebration, the Executive Chairperson will begin the day by participating in a community service outreach as part of the National Youth Service (NYS) Programme.
She will lead the NYDA team and NYS volunteers in Tembisa for a service activation dedicated to supporting young people and women who are survivors of gender-based violence.
The outreach will be hosted at Siyazigabisa Home of Hope in Tembisa. The Chairperson, together with volunteers, will take part in activities designed to uplift the centre and support its beneficiaries.
This engagement reaffirms the NYDA’s commitment to service-driven leadership and to centring vulnerable young people in its developmental work.
