$45,000 will fully fund 20 mentor-mentee matches for one year - covering training, program coordination, supervision, support materials, and structured goal-setting. These matches are more than just conversations - they are life-changing relationships that offer consistency and care in a world that often lacks both.
At SAYes Mentoring, we believe every young person deserves someone in their corner. Our mentorship programs pair youth transitioning out of care and other vulnerable backgrounds in South Africa and the UK with trained, committed mentors who offer support, guidance, and connection. By providing one-on-one mentorship for an entire year, we help young people build the confidence, life skills, and stability they need to shape their own futures.
Every dollar helps us: Recruit and train qualified volunteer mentors Match young people with someone who truly listens and shows up Provide personalized, goal-driven support in education, well-being, employment, and independence Sustain our mission of helping youth thrive, not just survive
When you support this project, you're not just giving - you're mentoring. You're saying "YES" to possibility, to purpose, and to a future where every young person has someone who believes in them.
