Mirrors enrolment

The Mirrors programme is looking for new participants as it prepares for its fifth session.

The programme is geared to helping young people between the ages of 15 and 18 reach their goals. It is now looking for 40 participants to get involved.

Enrolment for the new session begins next month, with enrolment events scheduled for September 17 and 23.

Mirrors' participant enrolment manager Vernelda Perinchief-Tatem said that the 91 people have graduated from the programme and seen improvements in their lives.

"Those who had dropped out of school have gone back and are graduating. Those who were unemployed have jobs or are looking. They're realising the dreams they had for themselves."
