The YIL Fellowship
A four-month leadership and innovation development program that trains young professionals to inspire, initiate, manage, and lead innovation.
I created the Young Innovation Leaders (YIL) Fellowship in 2018 to raise a generation of Africans who can think boldly, create value, and lead transformative change in their fields.
The Fellowship is a four-month leadership and innovation development program that trains young professionals to inspire, initiate, manage, and lead innovation, turning bold ideas into sustainable solutions that make a real impact in their communities.
Through a blend of intensive training, mentorship, and practical innovation challenges, we equip participants with the skills and confidence to become catalysts of growth wherever they serve. Since its inception, YIL has trained fellows from 24 African countries, creating a thriving network of innovators and changemakers who are redefining the future of work and development across the continent.
Run under the Hutzpa Center for Innovation and Development, the program partners with organizations such as Plan International and Innov8 Hub to expand its reach and impact, inspiring a new wave of visionary African leaders.
