Empowering disadvantaged youth in the Western Cape through career exhibitions and career clubs.

Conray Wilbur Marcus Youth Development is a Western Cape-based initiative founded and led by Conray Marcus, dedicated to empowering disadvantaged youth through career exhibitions and career clubs. The organisation is proud to be patroned by Dr. Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of Gift of the Givers — South Africa's largest disaster response and humanitarian organisation. Conray founded the organisation to close the gap between young people's potential and their access to opportunity — connecting Grade 11 and 12 learners, as well as out-of-school and unemployed youth, with the career guidance, bursary information and mentorship they need to plan a path toward further study or employment. Through large-scale Career Exhibitions bringing together universities, colleges, banks, government departments and corporates, and smaller, ongoing Career Clubs run by professional mentors, the organisation is building a growing network of partnerships across the education, government and private sectors — helping young people think positively and plan for success.
