Laffer Liebson is head of the school’s Outreach Committee. This committee works with the community to improve the living conditions of the community at large. Welfare’s projects are often a lot more direct and hands on. The committee achieves its goals by holding events for underprivileged people or working with organisations that help these people.
Wolpe is deputy head of the Advocacy Committee. This committee aims to inspire and unite the youth of Johannesburg to enable them to unlock the true potential for shaping society for the better.
The committee speaks out against injustices in society, to ensure that all South Africans don’t just have rights in theory, but in practice as well and they endeavour to empower the youth of South Africa to become leaders in their own right.
