Meet the 2023 Global Leadership Program Cohort!

We are thrilled to introduce the 2023 Global Leadership Program Cohort—a group of twenty outstanding African Leadership University students who embody the passion and drive to make a significant impact on the global community! Now in its second year, the Global Leadership Program will run from July 16th to August 15, 2023 at the Carnegie Foundation’s Palo Alto location.
Selected students will complete a rigorous experiential entrepreneurship program and learn from Silicon Valley leaders working across a range of industries. The program will include lectures, workshops, site visits, networking opportunities, and group projects. Students will reside on the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California for the duration of the program and have the opportunity to explore the Bay Area.
