HOW IT ALL STARTED
IT ALL STARTED with one simple question
Can leadership be learned?
The answer to that question came as a result of 10 years of research. It was simple yet decisive: ABSOLUTELY! And the earlier the better…
We have discovered that leadership is a great journey. It can evolve best if it was instilled at a young age allowing these young promising individuals to achieve and champion their fullest potential and discover what is possible to achieve in their lives.
That is why we set ourselves to launch the Youth Leadership Academy, a leadership specialized platform that acts as a beacon of Youth Development starting from the MENA region and continues across the world, with a specific vision to Build Nations Of Leaders.
