Who we are

Career Buddy is a cradle-to-career guidance and coaching organisation founded in 2018. We are a registered Non-profit foundation founded in 2018 in South-Africa.

What we do

Radically transforming the way in which people connect with life changing opportunities. Making it easier than ever before to connect with career advise, jobs, places to study, places to source funding, career buddies and more!

Our mission

Is to eradicate poverty and reduce income inequality by making life changing connections more accessible for the youth.  We focus especially on reaching marginalised communities through our non-fee paying government school initiatives in proud partnership with Liberty Community Trust.

Our work and activities serve and empower children, their families, women, and communities.
We envision giving every child the opportunity to gain the education and economic capital necessary to thrive, reach their full potential, and give back to society.

We believe

Self-awareness and individual transformation consciousness precede socio-economic transformation and have the powerful effect of breaking down the barriers of systemic inequality that are keeping our youth trapped in cycles of poverty. We future-proof the youth by providing them with personalised career guidance and coaching which makes them happier and healthier, accelerating their journey to economic transformation.
