Our Programs
Our programs are designed to provide guidance and support to young Africans as they navigate their academic, career, talent development, and leadership journeys!
One-on-One Mentorship Program
​
Through Connect, we match mentors and mentees with similar backgrounds and interests. Our mentors are Africans who have made significant achievements in their academic, career, and leadership lives and have impactful stories to share.
We guide pre-college, college students, or recent graduates to navigate their academic, career, talent development and leadership life.
The drive of our mentees for growth as well as the passion and dedication of our mentors serve as the strength in this program.
Connect has a 6-month matching period where mentors and mentees work on defined SMART goals/objectives. Throughout the program, mentors and mentees are guided by a dedicated Program Coordinator, culminating in a graduation ceremony where participants receive certificates.
Empowering Students Through Partnerships​
​​​
Partnership is one of the ways through which we reach and serve our target group. Through the XPLORE Initiative, we collaborate with student groups, academic departments, and faculties in universities and other post-secondary institutions across Africa to offer speaker-led presentations.
We collaborate with seasoned professionals from different academic and career backgrounds to deliver this program.
​
The goal of the XPLORE initiative is to provide a platform for college students within a particular academic discipline to explore the various academic and career opportunities in their field of study.
Connecting Mentors and Mentees to Ignite Growth Across Africa
MentorHackathon is our annual signature program through which we create a platform for mentors and mentees from across Africa to participate in a mentoring workshop.
Each year, we select relevant topics, invite experienced speakers, and create discussion groups for learning, growth, and networking.
Through this interview, we have discussed topics like The Role of Mentoring in Talent Development, MindShift for Global Influence, Building Strategic Relationships, Academic Scholarships, and many more.
