JOHANNESBURG, 20 July 2022. African Leadership Academy has commenced the applications season for the ALA Class of 2023, for our two-year diploma program.

ALA is a pan-African leadership development institution which works with several top institutions and organizations across the continent to identify, develop and connect the next generation of African leaders.

We work with school heads, educators and leaders of community organizations and youth networks to identify young people aged 15-18 who have demonstrated high leadership potential and passion for creating change in their communities. These might be school prefects, students with exceptional academic ability, top athletes, young entrepreneurs and inventors, future political and diplomatic leaders, or social activists. We admit 130 promising African leaders each year, after a rigorous selection process, who join our growing network of changemakers to study at the Academy in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Our application window runs for six months, ending January 2023. The early decision deadline is 16 September 2023.
