# The Western Cape Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport has partnered with the Youth Employment Service to unlock employment opportunities and develop new models for economic activity. This partnership was formalised through the placement of 42 youth as sports coaches in collaboration with the NGO partner, SCORE an organisation dedicated to using sport to change lives. All 42 coaches are alumni of the YearBeyond national youth service programme. Over the next year they will serve as coaches specialising in specific sporting codes at local schools and SCORE hubs in Mbekweni, Franschhoek, and Malmesbury.
