Mentoring

One Step at a Time

With this initiative, our goal is to promote great opportunities for those that need a bit of support and encouragement. With access to the right resources, young people can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfil their potential.

The success of this programme relies heavily on mentorship. If you want to be part of nurturing future leaders, then sign up to become a mentor. Learn more about our work by getting in touch with our team today.

THE ROLE OF A MENTOR

What is a Mentor?

Mentoring is a one-to-one, non-judgemental relationship in which an individual mentor voluntarily gives time to support and encourage another.
