ARM South Africa

ARM South Africa

The At Risk Movement is originally a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Brooklyn, New York. We are now operating as a registered NPC in South Africa and are currently seeking funding and institutional support to:

  • Implement our dispute resolution and violence prevention programming

  • Train youth in leadership, conflict transformation, and entrepreneurship

  • Provide materials and equipment for manufacturing garments under the Evolve label

  • Establish youth-led economic cooperatives for long-term sustainability

Social and Economic Development Goals

Our work in South Africa isn’t just about violence prevention—it’s about sustainable development. To that end, we’ve designed an economic partnership model that connects Native South Africans and Native Black Americans. Our plan is to have South African manufacturers produce garments for our fashion label Evolve, while Black American partners handle international distribution. This will create meaningful employment opportunities for high-risk South African youth while fostering economic solidarity between our communities.
