Mentoring Nigeria MODEL

What is one-to-one, site-based mentoring?
 Mentors and mentees meet in a supervised environment at a set time and location.
 Each mentor is matched with one mentee.
 Mentors commit to mentoring one school year for 15-20 hours per month.
 Sessions take place at our partner site; individual off-site activities are not permitted due to security reasons.
How are sessions supervised?
 A site supervisor is present at all mentoring sessions.
 The site supervisor represents the partner organisation.
 As your main level of support, the site supervisor is available as a resource and to facilitate activities at sessions.
