Youth Impact is an evidence-based, youth-led organization based in Botswana that identifies, adapts, and scales up health and education programs for young people around the world. At the core of our work is the understanding that when young people thrive, we all do.

In 2024 we celebrate our 10th anniversary – an opportunity to look back, learn, and build forward.

Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) is a remedial education approach supporting basic literacy and numeracy skills through differentiated instruction. On average in Botswana, 34 percent of students are unable to perform basic math operations, falling to eight percent after completing the program. Youth Impact supports the delivery of TaRL in Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, and serves as the TaRL Africa Innovation Hub, disseminating learnings worldwide.

ConnectEd is a targeted, phone-based tutoring program that significantly improves basic numeracy skills. Originating as a response to COVID-related school closures, ConnectEd has been implemented in 13 countries and also supports students in emergency settings. The program is associated with a decrease in innumeracy of 56 percent. A ConnectEd literacy component was recently launched.
