EYG MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
Empowering the Younger Generation (EYG) mentorship program was established in order to help develop confidence, self-esteem, excellent interpersonal skills, promote academic excellence and leadership both in and outside school among the young people. Our aim is to provide the young people with a strong foundation and network to encourage them to utilize their full potential
and be the best in all they do. VISION
A better society pillared on highly efficient and responsible young people who aim to utilize their full potential for the greater good. Mission
To empower and inspire a new generation of young people that are equipped with essential skills that will not only help them excel in today’s world but also act as catalysts of positive change to the society. At EYG we run two types of Mentorship programs. They include:
One-on-One Mentorship Program. This is a secondary and Primary school- based mentoring program. The mentees are matched with responsible, caring adults who are committed to sustaining a consistent partnership for at least one year. This close relationship promotes positive change by allowing the youth to see first-hand an alternative way of living that leads to a quality life. Mentors meet with their 'mentees' atleast once a month, for two hours on a weekend, on the school grounds. They may read together, play games, go for a walk, discuss current events, and work on a school project or just talk. In addition to their two hours a month together, the mentor and mentee attend group activities sponsored EYG mentorship program
Group Mentorship Program
In this program, we visit different institutions and share our experiences, skills and knowledge with the youth at the institutions. We group them based on their genders and age. We discuss with them various topics such as self-esteem, Peer pressure, Sexual Reproductive Education, Drug Abuse, displine etc. This is usually a very interactive session where the youths are allowed to ask as many questions as they can and also share their relevant experiences with the mentors.
