Our Kingsgen Leadership Mentoring Academy workshop, From Classroom to Boardroom, in March was powerful, inspiring, and deeply impactful.

It brought together professionals, undergraduates, and apprentices from different careers. Each speaker shared their journey from secondary school to where they are today. Every story was unique. Some paths were different. Some experiences were shared. All were real, honest, and full of lessons.

Dr. Dr T.Ayodele Ajayi FRCPsych , spoke on managing and maintaining good mental health. This gave students practical tools they can use daily. Steph L guided the students on how to build strong leadership skills and take responsibility for their growth. Chief Yemi Idowu encouraged the students to start thinking about entrepreneurship early. He challenged them to take initiative and create opportunities.

I encouraged the students to develop a growth mindset. Ask questions without fear. No question is a wrong question. Build strong research skills. Take ownership of your learning.

Mentoring remains at the heart of everything we do. It gives young people direction. It builds confidence. It exposes them to real-life experiences. It helps them avoid costly mistakes. It connects them to people who have walked the path before them. Many young people do not lack ability. They lack guidance. Mentoring fills that gap and changes lives.

The session ended with an open Q and A. Students asked honest questions. The panel responded with clarity and sincerity. The room was full of energy. Students engaged, interacted, and connected with the speakers. The speakers also connected with one another and learned from each other.

Students left inspired, equipped, and ready to lead in their chosen fields. They left with clarity and confidence to make a difference.

One of the most powerful moments for me was seeing young people who came through Kingsgen mentoring, university visits, and academic support return to give back. This is the vision in action. We are building a strong, supportive community. This is a dream becoming reality.

Thank you to all our speakers, donors, volunteers, parents and students. All your commitment makes this possible. Your impact is visible.

If you are passionate about shaping the next generation, we invite you to get involved.

• Speak and mentor young people aged 14 to 21
• Partner with us as a corporate organisation
• Support young people from low socio-economic backgrounds
• Register students in Years 9 to 13 for the mentoring programme
• Undergraduates can register to attend future workshops

Together, we can raise confident, capable, and purpose-driven leaders.

Give to Gain is the theme for this year.

It highlights a clear principle. When you invest in women and girls, society gains stronger families, stronger economies, and stronger leadership.
Give to Gain is not a slogan for us in Kingsgen but it is a strategy for generational transformation. It is our mission.

Kingsgen empowers mothers not only to support their children academically, but to improve themselves. We equip them to return to education, earn qualifications, build new skills, and change careers, deliver from poverty and build financial sustainability.

When a mother gains confidence, her children gain stability.
When a woman earns a qualification, her family gains opportunity.
When a mother increases her earning capacity, the household gains security.

Kingsgen gives time, exposure, mentoring, and structured development to girls from disadvantaged and Afro-Caribbean backgrounds. In return, we see confidence rise, aspirations expand, and academic outcomes improve.

Join us to give to gain, Give your support.
Give your expertise.
Give a young girl access to mentoring.
Give a mother the chance to retrain and rebuild.

The gain will multiply across families, communities, and future generations.

Kingsgen Foundation invites young people to the March Kingsgen Leadership Mentoring Workshop.

This workshop equips students with the leadership and life skills they need to succeed in school, university, apprenticeships, and future careers.

We received overwhelming positive feedback from students who attended the January mentoring workshop. Many reported increased confidence, clearer career direction, and stronger motivation to pursue their goals. Parents shared how their children returned home more focused and determined.

Why your child should attend?
Students will learn how to:

• Build confidence and communication skills
• Strengthen leadership and decision making skills
• Learn how to manage peer pressure and make wise choices
• Understand how to protect and improve mental health
• Gain clarity on career pathways and long term goals
• Hear directly from young adults in university and apprenticeship routes

As many students are now considering apprenticeship pathways, some of our speakers are current apprentices studying at top universities through the apprenticeship route. They will share their real experiences, explain how they secured their placements, and guide students who are considering this pathway

Students will gain a clear understanding of the difference between apprenticeship and direct university admission. They will hear directly from young professionals such as medical doctors, solicitors, barristers and engineers etc

Give your child the opportunity to grow, lead, and plan their future with clarity.

Spaces are limited. Register early to secure a place. Please register through this link:

Our January monthly mentoring workshop brought together three speakers, Toyyib Adewale Adelodun, Phinnah Chichi and Kemi Oyesola. Attendance included secondary school students, sixth formers, and undergraduates. The focus of the workshop was mindset, direction, and practical life skills that shape long term success.

Coach Kemi Oyesola opened with Think Right, Think Big, Building a Winning Mindset. She challenged young people to examine how their thoughts shape growth and outcomes. She highlighted four foundational shifts.

• The importance of thoughts and thinking
• What right thinking truly means
• What it means to think big
• Three key outcomes of thinking right and thinking big

Toyyib Adewale Adelodun followed with Your Circle Determines Your Direction, Building Powerful Connections. His session was clear and practical. He emphasized key principles.

• The energy you bring into a room
• How mindset shapes opportunity
• Networking as a life skill, not a job skill
• Visibility, agency, and confidence before results
• Believing in yourself and speaking life over your identity

He broke networking into clear directions.

Sideways. Build with your peers. They become your future allies.
Upwards. Add value before you ask.
Downwards. Lead and mentor early. Authority grows faster than titles.

Coach Phinnah Chichi spoke on daily habits, turning dreams into achievable goals, and preparing for life beyond school. She reinforced the point made by Toyyib that young people should learn to balance studying with play, seminars, and workshops. Many spend too much time on revision when they should also engage in activities that enhance learning and personal growth. She ended her session by leading the young people in strong affirmations that everyone recited together in the room.

The session closed with a strong reminder from the host, Revd Nicholas Nunayon CEO, Kingsgen Foundation and Kingsgen Foundation and Young Leaders Centre, on the importance of positive associations, personal research, and the power of asking questions. No question is a stupid question.

What stood out most was not only the content. It was the conversations, the engagement, the quality of questions, and the feedback. Young people participated actively, asked thoughtful questions, and shared reflections. They are thoughtful, capable, and deeply curious about purpose and the future.

Thank you to all the students and young people who attended, our speakers, volunteers Flora Coker, Olubunmi Okeowo- Awe, Olanike Olatunji Verissimo, Yemi Nunayon, Shalom Goriola, Lanre Oladipupo and Banke and our funder, The National Lottery Community Fundthe National. Your support made this workshop impactful and meaningful. We remain open to corporate partnerships and welcome individuals and organisations who wish to support us through the donation of time and expertise in mentoring young people.
