[PARTNER CONTENT] What began as one woman’s search for a more meaningful audience has grown into one of South Africa’s most enduring youth-engagement organisations. As it approaches its 26th anniversary, 3RC continues to champion its founding mission: to see the youth of South Africa educated, motivated and inspired. In 1999, Cheytanov took on IT contract work by day to fund her nights performing at festivals and clubs. Through ethical, mindful marketing, 3RC has built a lasting bridge between commercial partners and a genuinely engaged youth audience, earning continued access to schools across the country year after year. The programme extends beyond the classroom through family dance challenges and well-being-themed colouring contests.
