Nigeria's young people are eager to drive change and lead their communities towards a brighter future. However, many lack the necessary skills, knowledge, and resources to succeed in these roles. To bridge this gap, LEAP Africa has designed the Youth Leadership Development Programme (YLDP) to equip undergraduates with the tools they need to become active citizens, leaders, and change-makers.

Teams of 5-10 participants from the same tertiary institution will work together to design and implement projects that address pressing issues in their communities.
