Through camfed’s flagship learner guide program, young women volunteer in their local secondary schools as mentors and role models for girls at risk of dropping out. This project will examine how the governments of tanzania, zambia, and zimbabwe can adopt and sustainably scale core elements of the evidence based, youth led social support and mentorship program known as the learner guide program. Learner guides are young women in the camfed association, cama. once themselves supported by camfed, they use their lived experience to return to their local school, volunteering at least 2 ½ hours per week for 12 to 18 months.
