The significance of mentoring in the life of every human, at any one stage or another, cannot be overstated. More particularly so for the youth in the face of the myriad challenges facing them in the ever-changing dynamics in today’s life.
Our mentoring programmes for young adults include the following:
1. Personal development: This is to provide them with the guidance, support, and role modelling to help them navigate challenges and make positive life choices.
2. Academic Achievement: In this area of the programme, mentors provide them with academic support, help them set goals, infuse in them love for learning and offer them advice on career pathways.
3. Emotional Support: In these tough times, many young people face emotional and social challenges – peer pressure, bullying, low self-esteem to name only a few. Mentors serve as trusted confidants who provide them safe and supportive space. This contributes significantly to their improved mental well-being and resilience.
Youth mentoring programmes are essential for the holistic development of young individuals, providing them with support, guidance, and opportunities to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. These programmes contribute to building resilient, confident, and successful adults who can positively impact their communities.
