"MENTORING A CATALYST FOR CHANGE"

The above was the topic of a recent workshop held by AfriGrowth Foundation in Abuja. The event organized for young people between the ages of 18-30 years was to involve more youths in the mentoring thought process, encourage attitudinal change among youths and to inculcate leadership skills amongst young people through mentoring.

Speaking at the event Mrs. Dayo Keshi AfriGrowth Foundations' President advocated for youth mentoring as" it helps in value re-orientation" and called on young people to continue to look for opportunities to get developed through mentoring.

While sharing his mentoring experience with participants at the seminar Folorunsho Adekugbe an AfriGrowth mentee noted "Mentoring influenced me, it gave me a right course, Mentoring filled my performance Gap, should you have anyone navigating on the sea of life; carried about by the storm of confusion, hopelessness? Should you meet anyone that craves to live a fulfilling life? Should you meet someone like me! Don't hesitate to tell him or her that Mentoring is the answer"

According to Linda Yabrifa, AfriGrowth Foundations' programme officer "I can boldly say that Mentoring has come to stay in Nigeria and it is the only vehicle that can bridge the gap between the older generation and the youth- to becoming solutions to problems in the Nigerian Society"

The one day seminar is one in a series of activities carried out by the Foundation in order to fulfill its objectives of enhancing growth in needy communities by initiating and supporting programs which promotes self sufficiency.
