The University of Fort Hare (UFH) hosted the National Youth Quake Varsity Conference 2025 at its East London Campus from 15–17 August, drawing young leaders from across South Africa to engage on issues shaping the country’s future.
Youth Quake, a registered non-profit organization, was established to address socio-economic and spiritual challenges faced by young people. Its vision is to mobilize, unite, and equip youth with the tools to create a brighter and more sustainable future.
The annual conference seeks to awaken the spirit of volunteerism, entrepreneurship, and proactive citizenship in students. Delegates were urged to use their academic opportunities to pioneer solutions and become architects of change in their communities, industries, and the nation at large.
This year’s event was organized by the UFH Youth Quake society in partnership with the Student Governance and Development Unit (SGDU). Themed “Transformational Leadership in a Global Era – Serve, Lead, Inspire,” the programme encouraged holistic growth, calling on youth to embrace leadership with vision and compassion.
Participants were inspired to return to their communities as agents of positive change, reinforcing the belief that young leaders hold the key to building inclusive, reformed, and empowered societies.
