2023 MILEAD FELLOWS PROGRAM: FOR EMERGING AFRICAN WOMEN LEADERS

APPLICATION DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY 22ND MARCH, 2023

ARE YOU AN EXCEPTIONAL YOUNG AFRICAN FEMALE LEADER WHO IS READY TO BE A GAME-CHANGER? THE 2023 MILEAD FELLOWS PROGRAM IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU!

Join the 2023 MiLEAD Fellows Program for Young African Women Leaders!

Over the past 14 years, MILEAD Fellows have gone on to lead bold transformative and paradigm-shifting change at various levels- breaking barriers, implementing live-changing initiatives to end injustice and transform lives, and disrupting systems and cultures that discriminate against women and girls.

If you’re an exceptional emerging African woman leader who’s ready to be a game-changer, we want you to apply! 

The program is designed to identify, develop, and promote a new generation of young African female leaders to attain and thrive in critical leadership across Africa.

We’re looking for dynamic young women between the ages of 19-25 who are interested in developing transformational leadership skills that help them address issues facing women and girls across communities in Africa. The MILEAD Program equips Fellows with the world-class knowledge, skills, values, and support systems they need to succeed as 21st-century women leaders.

The MILEAD Fellowship will be awarded to 25 outstanding young women who have exhibited leadership potential in their community, organization, and/or profession. The program includes a three-week residential Summer Institute in Ghana and a community change project. Selected candidates may remain full-time students or work full-time for the program duration, except during the 3-week summer institute.

The application is closed.
