Why be a Thrive woman youth mentor in kenya?
As highlighted across their world, ‘Women Need a Network of Champions’ to achieve their goals and to realise their dreams, and to ultimately thrive in their lives!
Thrive’s Women’s Youth Mentoring Scheme aims to connect highly motivated and inspirational Kenyan women professional volunteers to marginalised urban young women as active and creative Women Youth Mentors in Kenya.
vision: a network of women change makers in kenya
In coordination with the Women Center for Peace and Development, Thrive’s Women’s Youth Mentoring Scheme intends to create a network of Thrive Women Youth Mentors across Kenya that can support marginalised young women ‘mentees’, specifically in terms of their wellbeing and career development, and may collectively act as change makers in their communities.
pilot scheme
In the pilot programme for Thrive Women’s Youth Mentoring Scheme, Thrive and the Women Center for Peace and Development aim to train and build the skills of at least 15 passionate Kenyan women professionals in Nairobi that are keen to be Thrive Women Youth Mentors and support a total of 100 less privileged young women mentees in their communities and beyond.
Mentor workshop and training programme
The Thrive mentor training programme is envisaged to be a maximum of 3 days, and will draw on collective thinking to co-identify key barriers that young low-income and refugee women typically face in their work and professional lives in Kenya. A framework of support will then be collaboratively developed to practically support mentors in fostering (marginalised) young women’s wellbeing, life creativity and career development.
