Raising New Generation Leaders

LEAP is passionate about developing a new generation of young global leaders who will drive change in Nigeria and Africa. At LEAP we equip youth with appropriate set of tools and skills for leadership development.

We aim to encourage youth participation at all governmental levels and enhance leadership capacities. Over 21,790 youth have benefitted from our youth programmes in Nigeria.  Subsequently, many of LEAP's beneficiaries have initiated high-impact community development projects.

Our influence and impact extends to six African countries including Burundi, Ghana and Rwanda. These new generations of leaders are well equipped to reposition Nigeria as a country with dynamic and responsible human resource and ensure that Africa realizes its full potential.
