MISSION STATEMENT
Using the Transformative Power of Mentoring to Groom a Generation of Revolutionary Leaders and Entrepreneurs.
Behind every successful story is a fantastic mentor. Even people that claim to be self-made have someone that was present earlier on to set them on the right path. These people can be the magic ingredient your business or your career needs to thrive, the person who tells you to keep at it when you’re at your lowest point or just someone who gives you the right advice at an opportune time. Mentors can make a profound difference in the lives of their mentees and in turn, lead to the growth and strengthening of our country at large. It is based on the foundation of the above mentioned and the principle that success comes to those who have become success conscious that The Mentorship Class is what it is today.

OUR FOUNDERS
Among many other things, Andrew and Janet Bugembe have always shared a passion for mentoring young people. In 2017, Janet assisted a team of Senior six (6) vacationists to carry out a marketing campaign in one of the financial institutions. However, on completion, Janet felt the need to do more with the 20 girls she had worked with. Therefore, she asked them to meet every Monday and simply study the book titled, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. The activity list was further enriched through inviting successful friends from all walks of life to share their story with the girls. Not too long, the girls had invited their friends, boys were welcomed and joined, and a class was formed. Since then the lessons learnt have been consolidated to conceive The Mentorship Class.
