Community Leadership Academy
As a community, for the community
Our Community Leadership Academy is co-designed and co-delivered by refugees, in collaboration with Humanity Seekers. Through the Academy, refugees become empowered leaders, creating positive social impact – as a community, for the community. Our Academy is back for a second year!
Our 2024 programme theme is ‘Youth in Leadership’.
