The importance and value of a MAD Leadership Foundation mentor to the success of the programme are without question: they are there to act as a safety net, to identify possible problem areas and to help with personal skills development. Mentors help empower our scholars with life-skills development, expose them to the business world,
create networking and internship opportunities, and guide them in the direction of becoming agents for positive change in our society.

Commitments of A Mentor

  • Workshops and written guidelines are provided, in order to ensure that the mentor is equipped to mentor effectively and knows what is expected of them.
  • Regular communication with their mentee is recommended.
  • At least one monthly meeting with the mentee is compulsory.

“By choosing to support tomorrow’s leaders today, you really can change the course of someone’s life.”

Lwazi, MAD Leadership Foundation Fellow
