The Afterschool Centre for Career Development (formerly known as the Afterschool Peer Mentoring Project) is pleased to announce its partnership with Vital Voices Global Partnership as the flag bearer organisation for the 2016 Mentoring walk in Cross River State.
As the flag bearer organisation for the Walk in Calabar, The Afterschool Centre for Career Development will lead the organisation of the Mentoring Walk as well as deliver the Vital Voices Mentoring Programme in the State.
The Global Mentoring walk is billed to convene established women leaders and emerging women leaders to walk together in their community. As they walk, Mentors and Mentees would their personal and professional challenges and successes to establish a mentoring relationship, in which the established leader guides, advises and supports an emerging leader.
