WASHINGTON, DC

THE WASHINGTON FELLOWSHIP

The Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders is the flagship program of President Obama’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) that empowers young people through academic coursework, leadership training, and networking. Fellowships provide outstanding young leaders from Sub-Saharan Africa with the opportunity to hone their leadership skills at top U.S. universities in the topics of business and entrepreneurship, civic engagement, and public management. The Fellowship also provides support for professional development, seed funding, mentoring, and onward service after they return home.

THE WASHINGTON FELLOWS

The 2014 Washington Fellows are 500 of Sub-Saharan Africa’s most promising young leaders ages 25 to 35. The Fellows have established records of accomplishment in promoting innovation and positive change in their organizations, institutions, communities, and countries. All Sub-Saharan countries are represented amongst the 2014 Washington Fellows. Fifty percent of Fellows are women. Despite their youth, more than 75 percent of Fellows hold mid-level or executive positions.
