Familiarise yourself with who we are and what we stand for by checking out the rest of our website and our facebook page. The Character Company (TCC) is a registered Non-Profit and Public Benefit Organisation with a formal board of directors.

1. Prepared to share our value system which is founded on Christian principles.

2. A positive male role model in good standing in your home, workplace, and general community.

3. Prepared to make a commitMENt to MENtor a group of boys once a week for at least a year.

 

The minimum requirements for MENtorship are:

1. A 3-hour MENtoring session once a week with no more than 5 boys allocated to you as a MENtor (weekday or weekend).

2. Assist with a minimum of 2 camps a year.

3. Assist with a minimum of 2 Saturday events a year.

5. To complete weekly register and feedback questionnaire.

Training of our MENtors:

All TCC MENtors will receive “on the job” training and will not be left alone to figure this out for themselves. Our MENtors manual (curriculum) will be made available once you become an “MENtor” to give you guidance on the monthly themes and weekly topics.

 

This is not for Me

Should you feel that this is not what you had in mind, please remember that you can still make a difference and if you cannot be a MENtor, how about helping us to put a MENtor in a community by nominating someone else that would be interested.
