About
The WiseUp Story
A movement built to prepare South Africa's youth for a changing world.
Founder
Greg Shapiro
Greg Shapiro's journey in education began long before he founded the WiseUp Movement. It began the day he was expelled from school in Grade 9 — labelled a failure, dismissed as a "hopeless case," and left without a clear path forward.
Everything changed because of one act of mentorship.
The Vision
Future-proof a generation
A South Africa where every young person steps into adulthood with clarity, confidence, and a future they actively chose — supported by the parents and teachers around them.
