Help Student Sponsorship Programme with 40 volunteers for High School Learners
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Every year the Student Sponsorship Programme (SSP) recruits committed individuals to serve as Mentors for our Scholars. Since our Mentorship Programme is one of the most valuable resources that SSP offers to its Scholars, we are looking for persons who have an interest and desire to help develop our Scholars to become future leaders of South Africa. The SSP Mentor is not there to only offer academic support but also provide support in life skills development that the Scholar may not get from family, teachers or their peers. In this sense, the SSP Mentorship relationship is a unique one that lasts formally for the Scholar’s journey through secondary school and very often informally beyond.

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
