Young Excellent
Leaders Programme

We are dedicated to facilitating the growth of young individuals into accomplished leaders who will excel in their academic pursuits and impact their communities.

The Challenge

Youth leadership inclusion is vital to nation-building and economic growth. The best time young people can learn and develop essential leadership skills is in their formative years (11-18 years), which is usually the period they are in secondary school.

 

The character formed or built shapes their personality and values. This, in turn, affects their choices in life and automatically influences the kind of life they would live.

 

Through our previous projects in 83 public secondary schools across Nigeria, we discovered poor teaching delivery, low access to reading materials, bad school infrastructure, and badly equipped/functional libraries amongst other critical areas in these schools.

 

These problems account for the decline in character development, values, reading culture, academic performance, and demonstration of leadership in youths.

 

Our target groups are underserved youths in public secondary schools. The majority of these young ones from low-income homes may never get access to proper training or mentorship on leadership and life skills.

OUR SOLUTION

Young Excellent Leaders Academy

Young Excellent Leaders Academy (YELA) is a learning and community development-based leadership programme.

 

YELA is the second level of engagement through which REVAMP Africa equips selected participants from our VLDP programme with stronger leadership skills to become peer educators and positive influencers in their schools.

 

Through the program, we provide them with the crucial skills needed to enhance their leadership abilities. We will train them to not only lead themselves, but also become catalysts for driving positive social change within their peer groups and immediate school communities.

 

Our academy provides a platform for young people in secondary schools to be trained as leaders and involved actively in social impact initiatives by championing positive changes in their schools and immediate communities.

OUR KEY OBJECTIVES

Educate. Equip. Empower

1. To build capacities of underserved aspiring student leaders in public secondary schools through our intensive leadership training and mentoring sessions.

 

2. To train the aspiring student leaders to become peer educators, and positive influencers in their school communities.

 

3. To infuse the spirit of service in the young aspiring leaders, by mentoring them to carry out social impact projects within their school communities.
