NextGenMen Champions: The journey from participant to facilitator

NEW FACILITATORS: Project NextGenMen (NGM)

In September 2022, 170+ men from 10 soccer teams in Khayelitsha started their NextGenMen journey as participants. In December, the various teams nominated their NGM Champions, men who they feel show leadership and willingness to be NGM ambassadors in their respective teams and communities. They have been receiving additional training on conflict resolution, community resource mapping plus lay counseling skills.

Recently, 15 Champions completed the 3-week NGM Facilitator Training. These men can now run their own NGM programmes in their communities and increase the reach of this impactful project.

We are excited to see how Project NextGenMen keeps growing!

Project #NextGenMen is supported by the Embassy of Ireland, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and the New Zealand High Commission.
