Background

The National Mentorship Movement (NMM) is a Non-Profit Company (NPC) and a Section 18A Public Benefit Organisation dedicated to driving economic and social transformation through Mentorship – the Power of Two.

Our journey began in 2015 when a group of business leaders came together to explore solutions to South Africa’s high unemployment rate and struggling entrepreneurial landscape. They recognized that mentorship—connecting experienced people with people with the passion to grow—could be a powerful tool for change. As a result, they mandated a team to make mentorship accessible at scale, empowering entrepreneurs, youth and others to thrive, create jobs, and foster social cohesion.
