eMA’s Personal Development Mentorship is focused on supporting learners in high schools and tertiary institutions, addressing soft skills and other life skills among learners. In addition, eMA undertakes mentorship support to address transition from high schools into tertiary institutions and entrepreneurship - a stage normally characterized by idleness and more often confusion among young people.

2. E-MENTORING

eMA’s adopts a blended approach in utilizing ICT for mentorship programmes among the youth. This will be achieved through technology innovations that enhance delivery of online mentorship programmes. Youth centered ICT centres and Digicafe’s in selected community institutions/facilities will be a key anchor for such programmes.

With a high youthful population in Kenya, there is a growing number of youth transitioning from the education system into the job market and career advancement. However, the numerous challenges in this stage prove to not only diminish opportunities for the youth but also contribute to exclusion and frustrations among the youth.

4. YOUTH WELLBEING

Adolescence is a unique and formative stage in the development of human beings marking the transition from childhood to adulthood. Historically, this typically spans from 12 to 18 years of age. (Jaworska & Macqueen, 2015). This stage is a crucial period for developing and maintaining social and emotional habits important for mental wellbeing. These include adopting healthy sleep patterns; taking regular exercises; developing coping, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills; and learning to manage emotions. Supportive environments in the family, at school and in the wider community contribute significantly to the well-being of young people at this stage.
