Develop
Young leaders complete an intensive program of intellectual growth and hands-on leadership development.
Connect
Young leaders are guided by a powerful network along their path to create transformative change in Africa.
Our Programs
Africa’s future will be shaped by young people who challenge themselves to think extraordinarily, break boundaries, and aspire toward great achievements.
The African Leadership Academy offers a suite of educational programmes that challenge and prepare young leaders between ages 15-22 for their future. Beyond the two-year diploma programme, we offer the Global Scholarship programme, Model African Union, and BUILD-in-a-BOX, each dedicated to expanding the intellectual growth and leadership development of Africa’s next leaders.
