Peer Mentoring support

What is peer mentoring?

Peer mentoring is a form of mentorship that usually takes place between a person who has lived through a specific experience (peer mentor) and a person who is new to that experience (the peer mentee).

WESSA has been hosting 10 Groen Sebenza participants since 2019. These inspiring young graduates have become integral to WESSA and the units within they are placed. Our Groenies are well inducted into the WESSA way and are in the perfect position to provide peer mentoring support to in-coming Groenies. Our Groenie peer mentors will providing support to you as you transition into the internship and your placement at your hosts. You will be meeting our ‘veteran’ WESSA Groenies during the Induction and we will explain how the peer mentoring will be rolled out. The basic idea is to form a network of mutual support between peers that are n the Groen Sebenza journey.
