The 2030 United Nations Vision and Goals, encapsulated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), provide a comprehensive framework for global development efforts, including youth empowerment and education.
Youth mentoring in practice is a powerful tool for advancing the 2030 United Nations Vision and Goals. By empowering young people, promoting education and employment opportunities, reducing inequalities, fostering peace and justice, and fostering partnerships, mentoring contributes to building a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future for all.
As countries strive to achieve the SDGs by 2030, investing in youth mentoring initiatives remains essential for realising the full potential of the world’s youth and creating a better world for generations to come.
Youth mentoring in practice aligns very closely with several of these goals, contributing to their achievement in hughly significant ways:
Youth mentoring enhances access to quality education by providing academic support, guidance, and encouragement to young people. Mentoring programs help improve school attendance, academic performance, and graduation rates, ultimately contributing to the goal of ensuring inclusive and equitable education for all.
Mentoring programs equip young people with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to enter the workforce and pursue meaningful careers. By fostering entrepreneurship, job readiness, and vocational training, mentoring contributes to the goal of promoting sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, as well as full and productive employment for youth.
Youth mentoring addresses disparities and inequalities by providing support and opportunities to marginalised and disadvantaged youth. Mentoring initiatives promote social inclusion, empower vulnerable populations, and help bridge the gap between privileged and marginalised communities, contributing to the goal of reducing inequalities within and among countries.
Mentoring programs play a crucial role in promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions by fostering positive relationships, conflict resolution skills, and civic engagement among young people. Mentors serve as role models and advocates for social justice, human rights, and the rule of law, contributing to the goal of building peaceful, just, and inclusive societies
Youth mentoring relies on collaboration and partnerships among governments, civil society organisations, businesses, and communities. By working together to support mentoring initiatives, stakeholders can leverage their resources, expertise, and networks to maximize impact and achieve shared development objectives, exemplifying the spirit of Goal 17.
