πŸ’š Term 1 at Athlone High School - and she showed up.

Every session we walk into, we bring one promise with her: this is your space. A space where her voice matters, her opinions are respected, and her growth is the priority.

This term our mentees at Athlone High School worked through a carefully crafted curriculum designed with her in mind - her development, her new learnings, her next steps. Because when a young woman from the Cape Flats is given a seat at the table, she doesn't just sit - she rises.

To Mr. Hendricks, Principal of Athlone High School, and Mrs. Bronwyn Abrahams, our dedicated Teacher Liaison - thank you for opening your doors and for believing in the power of what happens when young women feel truly seen, valued, and heard. πŸ™πŸ½

She matters. She is seen. She is valued. And she is just getting started. ✨

🌟 Investing in her future, one opportunity at a time.

Every young woman on our program carries a dream. And part of what we do at IseeU is make sure she has the tools, the skills, and the network to turn that dream into something real.

On 19 May, three of our incredible alumni - Natheefah, Storm & Jade - attended the Mobile Corporate Career Cafe hosted by Action Volunteers Africa in collaboration with Deloitte at the V&A Waterfront. The workshop covered Real Work Readiness, Project Management, and Personal Branding - practical, relevant skills that go far beyond the classroom and directly into the world of work.

AVA has been doing powerful work since 2013, unlocking pathways to employment for young people across Cape Town through volunteering, work-based learning, and personal development. Seeing our IseeU alumni step into spaces like this - spaces designed to equip and inspire - is exactly what our program is about. We don't just walk with our young women through Grades 10 to 12. We walk with them into their futures.

Natheefah, Storm & Jade - we are so proud of you for showing up, leaning in, and investing in yourselves. You are seen. You are capable. And your futures are bright. πŸ’š

A heartfelt thank you to AVA and Deloitte for creating this opportunity and opening doors for young women who deserve every chance to thrive.

✨ Psychometric Feedback Session | 25 April 2026 ✨

This past Saturday, our Grade 11 mentees received feedback from their Psychometric Assessments, an exciting and important step in helping them better understand themselves, their strengths, and potential career pathways.

These sessions are about so much more than career choices. They help young people gain confidence in who they are, understand how they learn and work best, and begin exploring futures that align with their unique abilities and passions. 🌱

Thanks to this process, our mentees now have the opportunity to select a job shadow experience, which we will organise for them during the June/July holidays giving them valuable real-world exposure to industries and career environments they are interested in exploring.

A huge thank you to Hambly Matthews for your continued partnership with IseeU since 2020, and for the expertise, care, and passion you bring into this journey with our girls. Your work continues to leave a lasting impact. πŸ’›

We also deeply appreciate Bergvliet High School for generously providing the venue for us to host our mentees and create a meaningful space for learning and reflection.

✨ Exposure creates possibility and possibility changes futures.

✨ Gr 11 Psychometric Assessments ✨

One of the most valuable gifts we can give a young person is deeper insight into who they are, their strengths, personality, potential, and the environments where they are most likely to thrive.

On the 11th of April, our Grade 11 mentees participated in their Psychometric Assessments, facilitated by the incredible Hambly Matthews, who has faithfully partnered with IseeU since 2020.

Psychometric testing plays such an important role in helping young people make informed decisions about their future studies and careers. For many of our mentees, this process opens doors to self-awareness, confidence, and possibilities they may never have considered before.

A heartfelt thank you to Hambly Matthews for your expertise, passion, and continued investment into the lives of our girls over the years. Your guidance continues to shape futures in meaningful ways. πŸ’›

We also extend our sincere gratitude to Bergvliet High School for generously allowing us the use of your venue to host our mentees in a safe and focused environment.

✨ Because when young women understand themselves better, they begin to navigate their futures with greater clarity and confidence.

πŸ’› A special moment together with our IseeU alumni πŸ’›

There is something deeply meaningful about seeing former mentees return to pour into the next generation.

This week, we gathered with our alumni as we began conversations around our new β€œBig Sister” initiative for our Grade 11 & 12 mentees, creating intentional spaces of guidance, support, and sisterhood. 🌱

The morning was filled with thoughtful conversations, shared experiences, valuable feedback, and so much connection.

To our alumni, thank you for your continued commitment to IseeU and for choosing to give back so wholeheartedly. We are so proud of the women you are becoming. πŸ’«

✨ The impact of mentorship continues long after graduation.

Our IseeU alumni came together this week as we began shaping our new β€œBig Sister” initiative for our Grade 11 & 12 mentees.

These videos capture more than just moments β€” they capture young women choosing to come back, give back, and walk alongside the next generation. 🌱

From meaningful conversations to honest feedback and shared experiences, this day reminded us just how powerful community can be.

✨ Introducing our new IseeU β€œBig Sister” initiative ✨

We are so excited to begin building a space where our alumni can walk closely alongside our Grade 11 & 12 mentees, offering guidance, encouragement, support, and lived experience. πŸ’›

Our alumni understand this journey because they’ve lived it themselves. Now, they are stepping into leadership and mentorship roles to help younger girls feel seen, supported, and less alone as they navigate school and life.

This first gathering was all about hearing their voices, ideas, and feedback as we shape what this programme can become together. 🌱

Thank you to our incredible alumni for continuing to pour back into the IseeU community.

A Day of Legacy and Presence: Founders Day at Mount View High

There is something deeply moving about walking into a school hall filled with history, not just in its walls, but in the people who gather there.

At Mount View High’s Founders Day on 23 April, that feeling was unmistakable. From the moment we arrived, there was a quiet reverence in the room. This was more than a ceremony, it was a moment of remembering, honouring, and reconnecting with what this school represents in the heart of Hanover Park.

As we sat among learners, educators, and community members, we were struck by the pride that filled the space. It showed in how learners carried themselves, in their attentiveness, and in the voices that spoke of the school’s journey. There was honesty, an acknowledgement of challenges, but also deep resilience.

Being there as IseeU added another layer of meaning. Our work often happens in quieter spaces one-on-one conversations, small groups, moments where young people begin to find their voice. But this day was collective. Visible. A reminder that schools like Mount View High are more than places of learning; they are spaces of care, carrying stories of hope, hardship, and strength.

What stood out most was the sense of continuity. Founders Day honours the past, but what we witnessed was also about the present, the learners in that room, and the futures they are building. Legacy is not static. It is lived every day.

As IseeU, we walk alongside, creating spaces where young women feel seen and supported. Being part of this day reminded us that this work is deeply connected to the school environment and the broader community.

We left with a quiet, grounded hope shaped by what we witnessed: presence, commitment, and care.

It is a privilege for IseeU to be part of this journey. πŸ’›

πŸ’› Gr 11 One-on-One Mentoring | 28 March 2026 πŸ’›

This past Saturday, our Grade 11 mentees experienced something incredibly powerful, intentional, one-on-one time with their mentors.

These moments may look simple, but they carry deep impact.
A conversation.
A check-in.
A safe space to be seen, heard, and guided.

Mentorship is built in these quiet, consistent moments, where trust grows, confidence is nurtured, and young women are reminded that they are not alone on their journey. 🌱

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible mentors for giving up your Saturday to show up with such care, presence, and commitment. You are shaping lives in ways that truly matter. πŸ’›
