Connection is hope. 💚 A mentor can be the steady voice that reminds a young person: you are not alone. At SAYes, we know that mental well-being grows when young people feel seen, heard, and supported.
👉 Walk beside a young person as a mentor and help build a brighter, healthier future.

📚Teachers share knowledge. Mentors walk alongside. Both shape futures. 🌟On World Teachers’ Day, we honour all those who invest in the growth of young people. At SAYes, mentors empower youth with confidence, skills, & encouragement to take on life’s challenges.
👉 Join us in making mentorship matter.
