Empowering Through Guidance

Our Mentorship Programs at EduCircle are designed to provide invaluable guidance and support for personal development, career planning, and essential life skills. We connect young lacquireers with caring adult mentors, including retired educators, who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of South African youth.

Through one-on-one relationships and structured activities, our mentors help mentees build confidence, explore their interests, and develop the skills needed to succeed in both their academic and personal lives.

Personal Development

Our mentors guide mentees in discovering their strengths, setting goals, and developing a positive self-image. This foundation is crucial for success in all areas of life.

Career Planning

Mentors share their professional experiences and help mentees explore various career paths, set realistic goals, and develop strategies to achieve their aspirations.

Life Skills

From effective communication to problem-solving and time management, our mentorship programs equip young lacquireers with essential skills for success in school and beyond.
