Fellowship Program
This is a call for passionate, innovative young leaders ready to shape a
sustainable, prosperous future for AFRICA
Purpose-led
Changemakers
OMLA has engaged over 2,300 young leaders since 2020, each committed to mentoring dozens more in their communities.
We believe youth leadership is Africa’s greatest untapped resource. The OMLA Fellowship is a leadership journey designed for the next generation of changemakers — young people who are ready to inspire, mobilize, and lead. OMLA Fellows are not just participants — they’re builders of a new Africa. Each one brings passion, vision, and bold commitment to solving the most urgent challenges in their communities. From launching local sustainability projects to mentoring future leaders, OMLA Fellows multiply impact where it matters most: at the grassroots.
