Founded on the belief that young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow but the transformative forces of today, Leading Young provides the tools, knowledge, and networks necessary for youth to excel in governance, leadership, and innovation.
Our Story
The Leading Young story began with a shared vision: to create a platform that would harness the potential of youth and amplify their voices in decision-making spaces. Established in 2013, Leading Young started as a small mentorship program aimed at bridging the gap between young individuals and leadership opportunities. Over the years, we have achieved significant milestones, hosting leadership workshops, governance forums, and mentorship opportunities that connect young leaders with industry experts.
