Dear donor,
We are about to finish pairings of mentors and mentis for our 7th year and we will let you know about 2018-2019 numbers in our next report.
In the mean time we would like to share some comments from our menti students about the program:
1. I`m a student of economics and I`m 20 years old. My mentor has also studied economy and together we made a program on "time management and my future" and worked on using my time efficiently and focusing at a target. Our program works like a clock. I thank Cydd for this fruitful pairing. As soon as I have sufficient experience in the business world I will apply to be a mentor myself.
2. I`m 4th year electronics engineer. Taking part in this project I realized that I knew things that I thought I did not know but had not realized that I knew them.Everybody knows that asking the right question will get you the right answer but noone is aware that they don`t do it. My mentor made me realize that to develop oneself and keep one self up to date, determination and competence is all we need.
We would also like to remind you that donations made on `Giving Tuesday` November 27th all day long will be matched by GlobalGiving. Your donations on 27th November will have a greater impact..
Thank you for supporting our project and young university students getting ready for life..
Dear Donor,
We have successfully completed our 6th year and here are some results from 2017-2018 school year:
Project was implemented in CYDD branches in 24 cities. (15 CYDD branches in Istanbul and CYDD branches in Balkesir, Bursa, Çanakkale,Denizli, Kocaeli, Izmir, Mugla, Usak and Ümitköy in Ankara)
Mentor-menti pairs total: 254
Mentor-menti pairs Istanbul: 127
Mentor-menti pairs in 9 other cities: 127
% of girl mentis to boy mentis: 68 % to 32%
Number of mentor and menti trainers: 30
We hope to carry out the project in more cities and with increasing number of pairs during the 7th year of our project. We have already started accepting and evaluating mentor applications.
Thank you for supporting our project. We need more of your support as our project will be implemented in more towns with increasing number of students taking part..

Dear supporter,
In the last three months, we have successfully organized 4 trainings for our mentii students in Istanbul: "Career planning", "Presentation techniques", "CV preparation" and "Interview techniques"- all of them necessary tools for students who will be looking for jobs in the near future.
With the help of an independent survey company , we have also conducted a survey where all our mentors and mentii students took part and got a very positive result with a high satisfaction rate. The survey was also evaluated separately for each CYDD branch taking part in the program.
To further evaluate our 6th year in the program , Progress Monitoring and Evaluation Sessions were held with 100 mentors and 120 mentii students through branch coordinators and the results will be used to to plan our 7th term.
We look forward to our 7th year and to your continued support.
Kind regards,
Dear Donor,
We exceeded our goal of 200 pairs for 2017-2018 and reached 254 menti-mentor pairs. So far 795 pairs benefited from the project.
We are very happy with the demand for our project but we now need to develop the technical infrastructure of our web platform to pair the increasing number of menti and mentor applications. We are doing a market research for a good partner to update our web platform and a good offer. We hope to start next year fully equipped.
In the meantime, we are organizing various trainings for our menti students; subject of the February training is "Career planning", of March "Presentation techniques" and of April will be "Emotional intelligence". We will be telling you about the feedback from these trainings in our next report.
We need your continued support as we will be spending a good part of our budget on the web infrastructure this year.
Thank you..
Dear donor,
We are happy to announce that 3 new CYDD branches ( Balkesir, Denizli and Usak) joined the project in its 6th year and more than 200 menti-mentor pairs will benefit in 2017-2018. All mentor and mentii trainings are finalized, pairs are nearly all determined and branches are starting their acquaintance meetings.
This season 24 CYDD branches are taking part and 32 volunteer trainers have successfully finalized the mentii-mentor trainings.Even though this is a low budget project run mainly by volunteers following the main investment made to design the special program and its manuals, we still need your support to extend the project. Volunteer trainers need to travel to other cities to train mentors and menti and local trainers.
We thank you for your continual support for the project we are so proud of.
Kindly yours,
