What if all it took to change the course of a young person’s life was one conversation? In South Africa, millions of youth have the skills and ambition to succeed but lack access to networks and opportunities that can open doors. Umuzi’s 1, 2, 3 Mentorship Drive offers a simple way for professionals to help bridge that gap by sharing their time, experience and connections in just two short conversations that can lead to life-changing actions.
Whether it is offering feedback on a CV, helping with interview preparation, or making an introduction, every small gesture can have a lasting impact. There is no long-term commitment, just a chance to give practical guidance and real access to someone who needs it most. By stepping in as a mentor, you can be the link between potential and opportunity, helping to shape a future that may otherwise remain out of reach. To further unpack we are joined by Fiona Tabraham, Executive Director of the Experience Lab at Umuzi
