At Jitegemee, we are committed to helping young people realize their full potential and attain the highest levels of education possible. Our holiday engagement program for secondary students is a cornerstone of this mission, offering a unique space where academic preparation meets much-needed relaxation.
A Different Kind of Classroom.
Unlike the rigid structure of a typical school term, our holiday program serves as a vital debrief session. We recognize that after a busy term, students need a space to unwind. Our facilitation model shifts away from traditional “classwork” toward an interactive, high-energy environment. Through intensive training sessions, like the one conducted last month during the school holidays, students engage in practical exercises on the decision-making process. These activities help them navigate critical milestones, such as subject selection, by connecting their academic choices directly to their strengths and future career goals. We believe that students learn best when they are engaged and relaxed. By integrating play and fun into the curriculum—culminating in high-energy activities like our final-day celebrations—we create an environment where soft skills like problem-solving and emotional intelligence are caught, not just taught.
In this relaxed setting, students also build essential digital literacy skills. They utilize professional tools like the KUCCPS Degree/Diploma cluster portal to understand the requirements for their dream careers. By demystifying the path to higher education through digital exploration, we empower them to set SMART goals and take proactive ownership of their futures.
The success of this curriculum is bolstered by our strategic partnership with Hatua Network, who provide vital support in monitoring and implementation. This collaboration ensures our delivery remains high-impact, evidence-based and aligned with the best practices in youth development.
The results of this holistic, “fun-first” mentorship are clear: our participants are achieving remarkable outcomes, leading to a high completion rate at the tertiary level across the organization.
This success is only possible through the unwavering support of our donors and partners. Your investment allows Jitegemee to provide the mentorship, materials and joyful environment these young leaders need to bridge the gap between secondary school and professional life.
