Run your own youth mentoring programme

SAYes trains and accredits community organisations, educational institutions, health institutions and non-profits interested in setting up and running their own youth mentoring programmes with populations other than young people in care.

Components of youth mentoring

This course focuses on identifying and understanding youth populations at risk, recruitment and selection of mentors and mentees, mentorship training, matching, match support, programme operations, monitoring and evaluation.

Mentoring with the TIL programme

The Transition to Independent Living (TIL) programme is suitable for all young people facing the challenges and opportunities of independence. This course includes all of the components of youth mentoring modules as well as specific resources developed for the TIL programme – training manuals, intervention workshop material, monitoring and evaluation measures and online administrative platforms. The purpose of this course is to become a TIL accredited site.

About SAYes

SAYes was founded in 2008 to provide much-needed support for children and young people in South Africa. We provide youth leaving children’s homes at the age of 18 with guidance that enables them to develop their skills, further their education and source suitable housing, so they can participate in society as independent, responsible adults.
