What we Do
MES focuses on young people who are either about to finish high school or have recently graduated and are preparing for further studies or entering the job market. MES also supports current school-going youth to ensure they do not drop out of high school.
Through various interventions – such as career guidance, internship opportunities, leadership development, and bursary applications – learners are given the tools they need to transition successfully into adulthood and secure employment. This support is at the heart of the Joshua Youth Servant Leadership programme (Joshua programme) and the MES All Stars (Joshua alums).
Get Involved
- Career guidance and mentorship programmes are needed.
- Relevant, accredited training needs, including bursaries.
- MES invites youth groups and students to participate in our annual 10 Days of Hope campaign in Johannesburg, a chance to join hands in making a difference in inner-city communities.
