Shape-Up Mentoring [SUM]
Executive Summary
The SHAPE-UP Mentoring project is a unique initiative designed to support and
guide young people into the career pathways of their choice, and to build
outstanding teenagers fully equipped to become tomorrow’s leaders, and
positively impact their generation and beyond. Participants benefit from a range
of fun and practical development activities and events geared towards exposing
them to a wealth of knowledge, experience, advice and instruction that will aid
them in their professional, personal and academic pursuits. We are carrying out a
character building education activity in this regard. This is a teaching and learning
method which fosters the development of ethical and responsible individuals by
enlightening them on the good values people should exhibit and implement daily.
Project Objectives:
- Building outstanding teenagers and youth fully equipped to become tomorrow’s leaders.
- Integrate character development as part of the educational experience at school.
- Promote a value-driven generation in Nigeria.
