Help SAYes Mentoring with 6 volunteers for SOS Children's Villages, Thornton
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
SAYes identifies under-served populations that are objectively not receiving the support they need. We design evidence-based content for these groups and/or partner with other programmes that are doing the same. Then we train and support volunteer mentors to improve the impact of the programmes. This strategy ensures that we reach the most vulnerable and neglected groups, and that we direct the time of the volunteers to the most pressing social problems in their communities. We have opportunities for ten mentors at Girls & Boys Town Child and Youth Care Centre in Macassar and Kenilworth, Cape Town.

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.
