The Centre for Character and Leadership (CCL) collaborates with schools to provide mentorship training sessions to students in order to help them excel in their studies and develop virtues in their pathway to success. The mentorship training sessions include academic excellence i.e. study habits and finishing strong, reading culture, relationships, drugs and substance abuse, social emotional competencies and character building. The mentorship sessions have produced numerous positive outcomes, from raising esteem, encouraging healthier behaviors, improving social and emotional development and improved performance in academics.

CCL staff has been facilitating the mentorship training sessions in various secondary schools across the country. The topics include developing positive study habits and target setting; drug and substance abuse prevention; handling negative peer pressure and managing social media; sexual relationship and character building; and personality and career guidance among others. The sessions aimed at encouraging the students to adopt a healthy lifestyle that benefit them to lead flourishing lives that significantly provide an authentic sense of purpose and meaning.

During the sessions, the students were trained on how to inculcate character traits and virtues such as integrity, noble purpose, gratitude, teamwork, self-control, courage and forgiveness among others. CCL character building and mentorship model gives an opportunity to the students to practice social emotional and leadership skills such as being good communicators, resource builders, visionaries, problem solvers and role models. The delivery approach included interactive group discussions, moral dilemma discussions, visual aids, role plays, service learning, team building and a variety of other innovative teaching techniques to keep the participants wholly involved in the session. Towards the end of the mentorship sessions, students were given an opportunity to ask questions which were answered by the trainers and fellow students.
