At the heart of AYLF is the dream that leaders in Africa will know how to reconcile relationships, speak the truth without being religious or divisive, see people without labels or stereotypes, and ultimately love each other and those whom they lead.

Small Groups:
These happen regularly at all the universities where we operate and themmain aim of these small groups is that they are a powerful tool to personal and leadership development.

Coordinator’s Retreat:
This is an annual event that is meant to refocus all the coordinators and get refreshed for the whole year. To refocus and rejuvenate the coordinators.
Female Student Leader’s Conference:
Research carried out by the Africa Youth Leadership Forum has shown that approximately 28% of University leadership positions are occupied by female students. It is in light of this that Africa Youth Leadership Forum initiated the Female Student Leadership Conference; to empower and support young women aspiring to lead. We believe that these women will be the pillars that influence our community in the next decades.
