About Us

On a Mission to Reach 1,000,000 Young Leader by 2030

LeadGreen was founded in 2023 with a simple realization: Africa has the youngest population in the world and is the continent most vulnerable to social challenges and climate change. Yet, young people often lack the structured support to lead the transition.

We bridge that gap. We believe that leadership isn't a title—it's an action. Our organization exists to unlock the potential of African youth to become stewards of their environment.

Vision

We envision an Africa where every young person, in every community, possesses the agency, tools, and opportunity to shape a sustainable and thriving future—for themselves and for generations to come.

Mission

To accelerate African-led climate solutions by strategically investing in the leadership of youth and the innovation of grassroots communities.

Value Statement

We exist to accelerate homegrown African climate solutions by investing in the agency of youth leaders and the ingenuity of grassroots innovators. The most resilient and just climate solutions are born from the communities living on the frontlines of the crisis. We are building a global, inclusive, and empathetic community that operates with zero tolerance for discrimination, hate, or prejudice. We unite diverse partners to empower local action for a sustainable future.
