most outstanding emerging women leaders.
The MILEAD Fellows Program is a long-term
leadership development program designed to identify, develop and promote
emerging young African Women leaders to attain and thrive in leadership in
their community and Africa as a whole. The program targets dynamic young women
interested in developing transformational leadership skills that help them
address issues facing women and girls across communities in Africa. The MILEAD
Program equips Fellows with the world class knowledge, skills, values and
networks they need to succeed as 21st century women leaders.
Applications are invited from young African women between 19 – 25 years of
age, living in Africa and the Diaspora.
The MILEAD Fellowship will be awarded to 25 outstanding young
women who have exhibited leadership potential in their community, organization,
and/or profession. To be eligible for the program, an applicant must be
African, living on the continent or in the Diaspora; agree to participate
in all required activities related to MILEAD –
beginning with a three-week residential Summer Institute in Ghana; and commit
to a community change project. Specific requirements of the program and related
dates are outlined in the application package. Please review program and
application guidelines carefully, before completing your application

full-time fellowship. Selected candidates may remain full time students or work
full time for the program duration, except during the 3–week summer institute.
