Our vision is to help raise both boys and girls with strong values, positively impacting families, communities, and society, via our long-term MENtorship and WOMENtorship program. The X-Factored Youth is a registered Private Company that is in the business of positively impacting teenage boys and girls.

PROGRAM DETAILS

1. We enroll both boys and girls in our program but boys shall be allocated to male mentors and girls shall be allocated to female mentors.
2. Our primary intake age is for boys between the ages of 13 and 19 years old.
3. Our program is dependent on the availability of our mentors, so please keep in mind that unless we have a mentor in your area, we might not be able to immediately place your child/ren in a group.
4. There is a R200 p/month “membership fee” for boys on the program that must be paid by the parents/gardians or facilitated through a third-party sponsor.
5. Some camps and events may be at an additional cost and will be communicated via invite.
6. Mentorship sessions are held at least once a week for 2-3 hours virtually or physically.
7. Your children will be allocated to mentors who live or have a group in the same geographical area where your child resides.
8. Once your child/ren are allocated to a mentorship group, we require attendance of at least 75% off all monthly group sessions.
9. Monitoring and evaluation of each group and boys’ progress is done after every session and camp.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

1. A positive role model offering to be part of your child/ren’s life for as long deemed necessary.

CURRICULUM

Our curriculum has been designed around our 5 Values. Each week we discuss these 5 values with every boy in the program. We talk about them, what they mean and then we look at practical ways to make it part of our lives.

• Identity 
• Value
• Purpose
• Excellence

MENTORS

1. Our mentors are volunteers who are thoroughly vetted, screened, and trained.
2. X-Factored Youth mentors ascribe to being F.A.T. – Faithful, Available and Teachable.
3. X-Factored Youth mentors are committed to a long-term mentorship. This allows X-Factored Youth a life-long journey with the children we contend for. 
4. Despite the limited time spent with the children per week, Our mentors are creating positive change in the childrens’ lives.
5. Our mentors follow a strict code of conduct to provide a safe space and healthy environment for the children.

The X-Factored Youth continues to search for positive role models who will be prepared to step up and make the commitment to become mentors. So, if you know of anyone from your community or church who may be a suitable candidate, please ask them to contact us.
