Youth for leadership project is a six months to one year programme designed to build the capacity of the young person to lead himself and others. It involves the ability to analyze his or her own strengths and weaknesses, set personal and vocational goals, and have the self-esteem, confidence, motivation, and abilities to carry them out. Also, the ability to guide or direct others on a course of action, influence the opinions and behaviors of others, and serve as a role model. Many young people in Nigeria are clamoring to be given the opportunity to lead but the question is whether they have all it takes to lead. Our youth for leadership project combines capacity building, Mentorship with Community Service
