- Free online orientation session

2. gold Social Franchising: become a Deep Partner
Selected, community-based organizations working with youth can apply to become a gold Social Franchisee. This requires a more rigorous level of commitment to gold Model milestones towards specific youth outcomes.

- Due diligence assessment and support to become a gold Social Franchisee
- Coaching and training to implement a gold Peer Education Programme to gold Model standards
- Quality assurance and results-based assessment
- Access to the gold Community of Practice where you participate in an ecosystem of like-minded organizations across different parts of Africa. Current countries of operation include South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Rwanda and Malawi.
