What is the BP Mentoring And Tutoring Programme?
It is a unique community service project for youths to become Mentors to younger peers. An older Mentor becomes someone special in a child�s life over an agreed period of time as a big brother or sister. This Programme was launched in August 1995 and is the only nation-wide voluntary character building programme that recruits and matches tertiary students with school children.
What is our focus?
We aim to impart life-coping skills, social graces and self-respect to raise self-esteem, personal achievements and aspirations.
How we go about doing it:
We have two-hour weekly school based mentoring sessions over a period of at least nine months, during which semi-structured, learning-through-fun activities and games will be held. Personal sharing, mini celebrations and academic coaching are also carried out.
The overall result?
-
For our mentees: Enhanced self-confidence and self-esteem; improved attitude towards school life and higher personal aspirations.
-
For our mentors: Improved time management, planning and creative project management skills, personal and character development.
-
For both mentors and mentees: Unforgettable friendships.
