Empowering Dreams
Nigeria 25under25 Youth Entrepreneurship & Leadership Awards
Sharing stories of amazing youth entrepreneurs who are below 25 years of age, working hard and making a positive impact in their communities.
Our Approach
We think change can happen in many ways and there’s no one perfect way to make a difference. That’s why we honor young people who achieve great things in areas like making society better, protecting the environment, arts and culture, and using technology for good. We want to show that young people can do many different things to make the world a better place and encourage others to follow their own interests with confidence.
Recognition and Awards
We find and celebrate impressive young people. Winning an award can make them feel more confident, motivated, and accomplished.
Networking Opportunities
We help our candidates meet people who are similar to them, mentors, and influential people in their field. This makes it easier for them to find new job prospects and advance in their career.
Mentorship and Guidance
We have programs where successful people teach and guide young award winners to help them grow. They give advice to make them even better.
Training and Workshops
We organize workshops and training sessions for young people to help them become better leaders, develop their personal skills, and improve their professional abilities.
