Voluntary Working Experience Opportunity
With the recent #HireSocialWorkers on social media, it has come to Make a Mark Africa Youth Development's attention that indeed many Social Workers are unemployed in South Africa, yet they are needed.
However, we realized that many of them need work experience in order to position themselves for future advancement. It is for that reason that, as an organization, we have created a voluntary opportunity for any young Social Workers who want to gain work experience:
We would like to welcome you as our Coordinator of the Free Mentorship at the Park Programme in your area.
Please provide your details in the application below and wait to hear from us.

3. As the facilitator ask everyone to form a circle and open with prayer while everyone is seated or standing.
4. Introduce yourself and the programme, the theme and the guest contributors.
5. Ask the attendees to introduce themselves (You can use an interesting way for them to introduce themselves)
6. Depending on the number of your attendees, divide them into 3 – 5 groups and break down the topic/theme into sub-topics or sub-themes and give each group a sub-topic or sub-theme.
7. Give them time to discuss the sub-topic or sub-theme you have given them. Ask them to choose a group leader, someone who is going to present on their behalf.
8. Ask them to come back to the main group, still in a circle, and let each group share their thoughts (Very important).
9. Give the guest speakers a chance to share what they have to share.
10. Speakers shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes and always give attendees a chance to ask questions.

12. Remember to pass around the register.
13. Close with prayer and remember to take a group picture.
After the Programme
After hosting the programme successfully, you will be fulfilled and excited to go back to the back very soon.
This is how your mentees should feel as well and you need to do the following to keep them wanting to come back to the programme:
1. Create a WhatsApp if you haven’t created one by now.
2. Keep the group engage by discussing one topic per week. You need to choose a day and time for your discussion but you can always post important and inspiring information on the group.
3. Share the pictures and ask your mentees to share them on their social media with #FreeMentorshipAtThepark.
