Young Emanzi Toolkit for Mentoring Adolescent Boys and Young Men

The Young Emanzi toolkit for mentoring adolescent boys and young men is a multicomponent intervention including group-based mentoring and curricula-based programming covering gender, soft skills, financial literacy, puberty and reproductive health, addiction and alcohol abuse, and violence prevention. The toolkit consists of a Guidance Document and three parts; Part I: Trainers’ Guide and Resources is for use by trainers to prepare mentors to implement the Young Emanzi program. Part II: Mentors’ Handbook contains detailed instructions for mentors about how to conduct the 16 Young Emanzi sessions and the community celebration, as well as handouts for mentees. The handbook is a resource for mentors to use when they are preparing to lead sessions with mentees. Part III: Mentors’ Flipbook contains illustrated pages for mentees and summarizes the instructions for conducting the 16 Young Emanzi sessions. Mentors will use the flipbook as a job aid when conducting sessions.
