Mentor Arabia completed the Training of Facilitators, from November 9 to 13, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in collaboration with Child Care Association (CCA).

The training was led by Ms. Marwa Yehia, Programs Associate at Mentor Arabia, and Mr. Anthony Abi Zeid, Mentor Arabia’s Consultant. It aimed to build the capacity of 11 facilitators to effectively deliver and disseminate the Unplugged Plus Program, empowering them to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent risky behaviors among youth.

Over the five-day training, participants engaged in dynamic discussions, role-playing activities, and hands-on practice sessions to enhance their facilitation and life skills. The program also included field visits to observe and evaluate sessions implemented by one of the trained facilitators, providing valuable insights into program impact and quality in real settings.

This initiative marks another step in Mentor Arabia’s mission to empower youth and strengthen community-based prevention efforts, ensuring sustainable and high-quality program delivery across the region.
