“Research by young people for young people”
The YRU@BMR Youth Ambassadors Research Program brings together young people across South Africa to inform and participate in research projects investigating challenges faced by young people. In addition, the program aims to empower young people with basic research knowledge and skills that they can make use of within an educational environment.
