Pakistan is among countries with the largest youth populations in the world. Youth comprise around 63% of the country’s population, meaning three out of every five Pakistanis fall in the youth category, while 15 per cent of the youth is unemployed.
The majority has neither discovered its human potential due to low quality education (or none at all), nor can it participate in the process of the cultural, social and economic development of the country.

Before becoming a mentor, here are a few things to understand about the role of mentoring. Most of us have had a teacher, supervisor, or coach who has been a mentor to us and made a positive difference in our lives. Those people wore many hats, acting as delegators, role models, policy enforcers, advocates, and friends. Mentors assume these different roles during the course of a relationship, and share some basic qualities like a sincere desire to be involved with a young person, respect for young people, have active listening skills, have ability to see solutions and opportunities and have flexibility.
