GUYS AND GIRLS HAVING ABILITY TO SWITCH HATS (G-HATS)
G-HATS is a program that punctuates the importance of knowing how to switch between social behaviours in different social environments. We develop capacity in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and civic engagement through capacity building workshops, authentic guest speakers, and field trips. G- HATS provides authentic and sustainable mentoring that prepares our youth for the realities of society and provides a platform for them to develop skills to enhance their lifestyle and be well-equipped citizens.
