Our Mission

To be a leading youth conservation network on the continent — introducing young Zimbabweans to nature, mentoring them into careers in the biodiversity economy, and training them to be agents of change in their communities.

Our Story

Our Pillars

Arts & Culture

Storytelling for the planet.

Arts & Culture

We harness Matabeleland’s rich creative heritage to tell conservation stories that matter — through photography, writing, film, radio, and local languages. We also document and celebrate the indigenous knowledge that has long protected Zimbabwe’s natural world.

Social Enterprise

Turning passion into livelihood.

Social Enterprise

We equip young Zimbabweans with the career skills, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship tools to build sustainable futures in the biodiversity economy. Because conservation careers should be accessible to everyone.

Research & Conservation

Science in young hands.

We train young MYCS members to become conservation educators, bringing structured, inspiring environmental programmes to schools and communities across Matabeleland. We meet young people where they are — and bring nature to them.
