THE LEARNING TRUST
Beyond the classroom
The Learning Trust supports the After School sector in South Africa by developing quality practitioners and building sustainable organisations. We offer focused coaching and skills-sharing in a variety of organisational development areas, and provide platforms for networking and collaborations that, in turn, serve children and youth in under-resourced communities.
Creating Meaningful Work Opportunities in the After-School Sector
The Catch-Up Coalition, led by The Learning Trust, leverages public employment funding to create meaningful work opportunities while driving education recovery.
We’ve employed over 10,000 individuals in the after-school sector, empowering communities and supporting learners most impacted by school closures, rotational timetables, and unemployment.
Through a network of 50+ non-profit After School Programmes (ASPs), the coalition provides critical learning support, mentorship, and holistic development to thousands of children across South Africa. This collaborative effort increases human capacity in the sector by employing and equipping after-school assistants to bridge learning gaps, nurture potential, and build brighter futures.
