About this organization
Mission
South African teens have benefitted from more than 15,000 hours of video mentoring by video mentors in 17 countries around the world. These mentors represent a previously untapped resource for South Africa's teens by sharing their vast wealth of perspectives, knowledge, and skills during weekly face-to-face mentoring via the internet. More than ninety percent (90%) of video-mentored 12th grade students pass their end of year exams with the qualifications to advance as part of the first generation in their families to go to college or university and access opportunities to build a better life, as compared to just over half of their non-mentored peers.
