Bet you didn’t expect this from Amy’s SA trip: she walked. A lot! @SouthernSunGrp Rosebank, near IF’s office, her hotel, meetings & mall were blocks apart. Like NYC! Welcome to our #InfiniteFamily ✨ infinitefamily.org/2026/welc…

Since 2012, Absolute Containers has built LaunchPads with IF 🏫. Then they said yes to a Net Blazer’s 24-month engineering placement 🤝🏾. Thank you for being family 💝 infinitefamily.org/2026/a-pa… #InfiniteFamily #LaunchPad

Our NB Ben’s message for anyone in a tough season: “Your current situation is not your final destination.” 💪🏾🌟Resilience. Resourcefulness. Responsibility. Watch our teens build all three. What’s one small step you took this week? Share in the comments! #Resilience

A bus driver’s daughter from Durban just won the Nobel Peace Prize 🌟 Dr Navi Pillay fought apartheid from the courtroom, then helped build international justice. At IF we believe every young person deserves to see what’s possible. #NobelPeacePrize

Back to learning! 🎒After a two-week Sept break, our NBs are fully focused for the final term. Today: vertically opposite angles, and the curiosity never went on holiday 🧠✨ Invest in Teens Who Invest in Themselves 💝 infinitefamily.org/donate/ #NetBuddies

Yesterday was #NationalSonsDay 💝 Every week our young men meet their VMs to ask questions, share stories & grow. Mentors become family. VM Doug: "I think I have learnt more from him than he has." ✨ Invest in our teens: infinitefamily.org/donate/

This Heritage Day, IF holds pride & grief together 💜 As SA unites against GBV, we stand with affected communities. Ubuntu: I am because we are. Your mentorship's ripple reaches more than one teen. infinitefamily.org/become-an… #EndGBV

IF parent Irene on her teen's growth: "She no longer gives up easily... She applied to university by herself." 🌟 That's a VM's steady support at work. Become a VM 💪🏽 infinitefamily.org/become-an…

What does it take to rebuild after losing everything? For our Net Blazer Nthatuoa: resilience, a mentor who believed in her, a partner willing to take a chance. Now an electrician-in-training in Joburg. 💪🏾✨ infinitefamily.org/2026/from…

Laughter like this doesn't need a caption 😂 but here's one anyway. Bonds like these are built one weekly chat, one inside joke at a time. Our NBs show up for each other — that's family, earned. 🫶 Learn more: infinitefamily.org/about-inf… #InfiniteFamily

Every week for 3 years, our NB Thulani has boarded a crowded, delayed train to reach his VM, Raphael. Never once missed on purpose. "The journey made me into the young man I am now." 🚂✨ infinitefamily.org/2026/one-… #OneFamilyThousandsOfFutures

Walls don't define family — it's defined by showing up. 🌍 Our VMs support NBs weekly. Deena: "There is incredible joy in being a mentor, a counselor, and a friend to a child that needs support and guidance." ✨ infinitefamily.org/become-an…

NB Basetsana, on IF's VM program: "The internet was very useful. Since I'm in grade 9, I have so much homework, and that homework needs the internet, so I just come here to do some research." 💻 More at infinitefamily.org/hear-it-s…

"Learn from your mistakes, and do not make the same mistake day after day... there are no role models to look up to, but we do have one, and that's our mentors." — Lwazi, NB 💫 Our teens invest in themselves every day. Invest in them. 🌍 #InvestInTeens

Resilience isn't a buzzword, it's what our NBs build through consistent mentorship. Case in point: NB alumna Lesedi aced EVERY module this semester, chasing a remark until a near-miss became a distinction. 🌟 "I pulled up my socks to make my VM proud." GO LESEDI!! ✨#NetBuddy #IF
