Next Chapter Jozi is led by students, but the work depends on planning, listening, mobilisation and accountability.
Student-led work can be serious, organised and accountable. Next Chapter Jozi is built on that belief.
The team plans projects, listens to schools, mobilises books and resources, tracks what comes in and goes out, and reports what has been learned.
Being student-led keeps the initiative close to the learner experience while still requiring care, discipline and responsibility.
