Across the world, the youth generations are growing, learning, and preparing to become the next generation of leaders in their communities. But Africa’s youth is special.

According to the United Nations, there are over 226 million youth living in Africa today and in the next 30 years, 50% of the world’s population growth will happen in Africa. This means, Africa’s youth isn’t just preparing to be local leaders. They’re preparing to be global leaders.

But what types of leaders will they become?

With YALI4Youth, you’ll learn how to become a successful youth mentor and empower them to become the types of leaders who change businesses, communities, cultures, and countries for the better.

If you’re ready to start supporting the next generation of African leaders, join YALI4Youth by using the resources below.
