ABOUT PROJECT RESET
MORE THAN
A Movement
Real conversations. Brighter perspectives. A stronger tomorrow.
Project RESET is a youth-focused initiative founded by 13-year-old Lienke Uys to create conversations around the real pressures, challenges and choices young people face.
Young people today face enormous pressures; at school, in sport, online and in everyday life. Project RESET exists to start honest conversations, share credible information and connect young people with voices that can educate, guide and support them.
We believe every young person deserves to feel seen, heard and valued. Project RESET encourages young people to dream big and work hard without allowing their marks, medals, titles, achievements or setbacks to determine their worth.
MENTAL WELLBEING
SPORT PRESSURE
SELF-WORTH & CONFIDENCE
BULLYING
HEALTH AWARENESS
INFORMED CHOICES
YOUTH VOICES
OUR PURPOSE
Project RESET is not here to tell young people what to think. It is to start conversations, ask questions, share credible information and create safe spaces for real discussions. Because every young person deserves to feel seen, heard and valued.
WHAT DOES RESET MEAN?
RESET
Recognise when something is not working, when pressure is becoming overwhelming or when a different approach may be needed. A reset is not giving up. Sometimes it is simply choosing to begin differently.
REFOCUS
Take a moment to understand what matters. Find perspective. Ask questions. Get credible information. Speak to someone you trust. Reconsider the goal and decide on the next step.
RISE
Move forward. Not because everything suddenly becomes easy, but because you have chosen to keep growing, learning and trying.
