GRADE 12 MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
Through our Mentorship Programme we want to equip and advise learners so that they can prosper and make something of their lives. We want nothing more than to see them get out of their current circumstances, pursue their dream careers and be able to support themselves and their families. Our mentorship program is committed to giving these learners the guidance, motivation and practical help they need to make this a reality.
Shine mentors all the Grade 12 learners who have participated in the Grade 10 and 11 Tutoring Programme through two weeks of life skills workshops. These workshops aim to prepare and equip them for life after school. Through this intervention, we hope to give each of our community’s learners the best possible opportunity to make a success of their lives and help them reach their dreams!
