The Maven Journey
Using research-proven, global best practice we train our Mentors who are themselves experts or Mavens in different fields. The training rarely takes less than a full week. Using this knowledge each Maven enters into a mentoring relationship with a teen.
The journey is of necessity one-on-one, founded on trust and confidence and typically takes hourly sessions over a 48 weeks. Progress is monitored, evaluated and reported on monthly basis.
The Mentee finds a trusted and resourceful mentor who helps them to come into their own. The journey from mentee to a young Maven covers criticla aspects such as self belief, purpose, coping with stress, ethno-cultural identity, persistence, careers, community involvement among many others.
At the end of the year a graduation and celebrations event is held to mark the coming out of the new mavens.
