YALIServes

YALIServes works to build upon the legacy of Nelson Mandela. Throughout his life, Nelson Mandela worked tirelessly to strengthen his community, his country, and Africa as a whole. In honor of Nelson Mandela’s birthday each year, YALIServes encourages all members of the YALI Network to volunteer during the week of International Nelson Mandela Day – July 18.

This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we may not be able to safely volunteer in-person, but we can still Serve Africa Together. 

YALIServes this year will be dedicated to resiliency and how we can all continue to grow as individuals, community members, and business leaders, even in the face of great difficulty. Together, we will still honor International Nelson Mandela Day this year with the YALIServes Digital Day of Action.

By joining YALIServes 2020, you are joining together with young leaders across all of Africa who are still willing to inspire, volunteer, and lead in their digital communities. With stronger skills as an individual, a community member, and a business leader, you’ll stand resiliently during this difficult time as we Serve Africa Together.
