FOR YOUTH IN TRANSITION

For more information

SAYes remains committed to mentoring under-served young people during Covid-19. We have transitioned to remote mentoring to support our beneficiaries and we are connecting with NGO partners to provide them with additional necessary resources. Mentor and mentee training and weekly mentoring sessions are taking place via video phone. We remain committed to our objectives: improvements in the independence and well-being of our beneficiaries.

We are now accepting mentor applications from anywhere in the world, and we are supporting beneficiaries throughout South Africa and the UK.

If you are interested in mentoring you can request an application using the tab on the right, and for further details of our programme please visit our Facebook and Twitter Pages.

We are incredibly grateful to our donors for supporting us during this time, and to the Nike Foundation and the King Baudouin Foundation for Covid-19 Response Funds.
