Leaders of Leaders Africa Fellowship
“The Africa of our dreams is a continent that overcomes the challenges of poverty, inequality, and conflict. It is a place where every African can live with dignity, freedom, and hope.” – Wangari Maathai
Africa has the highest youth population in the world, with 70% of sub-Saharan Africa below the age of 30. This significant proportion of young people presents a promising prospect for growth in the continent. However, this potential can only be fully realized if the upcoming generation is empowered with the holistic skills and knowledge required to reshape the African narrative. Equipping young people with relevant leadership skills is not merely a question of inclusion but vital for economic growth, innovation, peace, and security.
Leaders of Leaders (LoL Africa ) is a bespoke remote leadership fellowship designed to equip young African dreamers, and doers with hands-on leadership skills to lead change in their communities. This is a youth-by-youth/young-at-heart program targeted at aspiring leaders, activists, and impact entrepreneurs across Africa.
Objectives of The Course
- To raise a generation of young African leaders developing local solutions to solve global challenges
- To increase leadership conscientiousness among young people in Africa by equipping them with relevant skills and knowledge
- To create a support community of young change-makers, activists, and impact entrepreneurs in Africa
The fellowship is divided into two parts:
A remote boot camp, and an onsite community-based project carried out by fellows.
- Renowned experts will train fellows on various leadership frameworks, sustainable development, strategies for leading change, and leading movements in the African context, and pathways to becoming an impact-driven entrepreneur.
- After the six-week training, Fellows are expected to conduct community-based projects focused on equipping other young people with practical leadership skills and frameworks based on their knowledge from the fellowship.
