520 |a South Africa is both politically and demographically a young nation, presenting unique opportunities and challenges for youth engagement in civic life. With over 60% of the population under the age of 35 years, young people hold significant potential to shape the country’s future. However, lingering socio-economic inequalities from the apartheid era – such as extreme poverty, high unemployment, and limited access to quality education – continue to hinder youth participation in meaningful civic action. This article argues that youth ministry, when framed within the paradigm of public practical theology (PPT), can serve as a transformative agent for civic responsibility and social change.Contribution: This article explored the role of youth ministry in fostering moral and civic formation among young South Africans. The discussion examined how youth ministry can move beyond traditional spiritual development to actively engage with issues of civic engagement and social responsibility. Key themes include the role of hope and morality in shaping responsible citizens, the intersection of faith and civic engagement, and the potential for youth ministry to serve as an empowering force for young people navigating socio-economic challenges.
