Mentors (or role models) take responsibility

Vorbilder is a mentoring project of the non-profit organization Future Of Ghana Germany e.V. In this project, responsible young adults take on the role of a mentor or buddy for young Black boys and girls. The goal of this relationship is to fill important gaps in the lives of the mentees.

To do so, mentors and mentees partake in leisure activities and build trusting relationships that are conducive to problem-solving. Through this targeted support, Vorbilder takes responsibility for the younger generation by showing what is possible even for the less privileged.

With this project we want to take responsibility for the younger generation. It is our vision to empower Black children and youth so that they can independently and confidently pursue their dreams and take their place in society.

I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in my position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world.

Build someone up. Put their insecurities to sleep. Remind them they’re worthy. Tell them they’re great. Be a light in a too often dim world.
