Purpose of this resource
This resource helps partners think beyond school fees. It asks what a young person needs after secondary school: course choice, mentorship, spiritual grounding, emotional resilience, practical skills, internship exposure, accountability, and help entering work responsibly. It can support ByGrace partners, college coordinators, church mentors, and donors who want education support to become a pathway into adulthood rather than a one-time payment.
Key takeaways
Use the resource to open honest conversation.
Connect reflection with practical next steps.
Invite parents, educators, pastors, donors, or leaders into shared responsibility.
Who it is for
This resource is useful for churches, schools, family groups, donor teams, alumni groups, researchers, and community leaders who want a grounded conversation rather than a quick slogan.
How to use it
- Read it before a forum, meeting, parents’ gathering, or leadership discussion.
- Choose two or three questions for group conversation.
- Record practical next steps and assign follow-up responsibilities.
- Connect the discussion to books, research notes, or endowment conversations where useful.
