About the Network
An international youth leadership development organisation, registered and operating across Africa, Asia and Europe.
Dear members of our esteemed organisation,
As the founder of our organisation, I am proud of what we have achieved in empowering youth through mentorship and capacity building. To the young generation: we are the future leaders responsible for a brighter tomorrow. Let us embrace the opportunities before us and use our talents, skills and determination to drive transformative change.
Together, we can and will shape a future defined by empowerment, growth and boundless possibility.
Four missions, one movement
Equality and empowerment for a poverty-free world
We work to create a world free from poverty, where women and youth are empowered, equipped and treated as equal partners in society, with education, skills training and support systems that break the cycle of poverty.
Empowering youth and women as next generation innovative leaders
We equip young people and women with the skills, resources, knowledge and opportunities to excel as leaders within their communities and to address the pressing issues of society.
Leadership opportunities and mentorship for youth
We provide leadership-oriented opportunities and mentorship programmes that shape minds and sharpen diplomatic, leadership and entrepreneurial skills, with racial and gender inclusivity as a primary agenda.
Growth opportunities for African youth
We create platforms and programmes that help young Africans unlock their potential, gain knowledge and skills, and contribute to the sustainable development of their communities.
A standalone organisation with a global footprint
The Young Global Leaders Network LBG/Inc. is a registered international youth leadership development organisation operating in Ghana, Nigeria, South Sudan, Sierra Leone, DR Congo and Ethiopia, with a presence in 25 other African countries.
We operate as a social enterprise and non-profit, nurturing aspiring leaders, increasing the representation of young women across sectors, and building the next generation of leadership at every level.
