22 modules make up the Youth Leadership Development Program, which is built around the three program pillars of leadership, active citizenship, and sustainable/community development. In order to fill the gaps in leadership, active citizenship, and sustainable/community development, the courses have been carefully created and adjusted to match the present challenges facing young people in Nigeria. The courses will assist in giving the learners the knowledge, abilities, and attitudes required to become real change agents who drive social change and have an impact on policy change.
Program Roadmaps
This year, the Youth Leadership Development Program will focus on the advocacy and sustainability tracks.
· Through outcome-driven policy engagements and inclusive resourcing, the Youth Leadership Programme (Sustainability Pathway) addresses the need to educate, strengthen, support, and enable young people in Nigeria for leadership, activism, and social change. This will assist youth in influencing and assisting medium- and long-term national development.
· Intercampus Leadership Debates (Advocacy Pathway) offers a platform to rekindle student activism in Nigeria, demystify what leadership entails, encourage active citizenship, support them in jointly articulating their future visions, and catalyze pathways for them to actively participate in that future. Nationwide leadership discussions will be used to accomplish this.
