Mentorship Program
The Help Me Empower (HME) mentorship program is one of the Help Me Up foundation's projects. The Programme seeks to empower young people from previously disadvantaged backgrounds. While previous HMU Foundation projects focused on grade 11s and matriculants, the team decided to initiate this project that focuses on grade 9 students. We have realised that many of the challenges that students face at grade 11 can be circumvented by early intervention.
Mentors are young professionals from different fields. Each learner will be paired with a mentor on the basis of one of their careers of interest. However, the program allows the learners to learn from other mentors as well, and not just the one assigned to them.
