Youth Leadership and Empowerment Workshop

The Youth Leadership and Empowerment Workshop is a transformative opportunity for young people of African descent to develop the confidence, skills, and networks needed to become future leaders. Leadership is not just about holding a position, it’s about inspiring change, and strengthening communities. This workshop creates a dynamic and supportive space where young participants can build essential leadership skills, enhance their public speaking abilities, and develop self-confidence.

With engaging guest speakers, interactive activities, and networking opportunities, the workshop connects young people with accomplished professionals who have overcome barriers and achieved success in various fields. Public speaking is a key focus, helping participants express themselves clearly and powerfully so their voices are heard in meaningful conversations. Interactive exercises challenge them to step outside their comfort zones, fostering resilience, problem-solving, and adaptability.

At the core of leadership is self-confidence. Many young people of African descent face challenges related to representation and self-doubt. This workshop empowers them to recognise their potential, embrace their identity, and take active steps toward leadership roles in their communities, careers, and beyond.
