Our Story

Our vision is to incubate and accelerate the growth of the next generation of social and non-profit leaders! Young people with ideals of Ambassador Walter Carrington- young women and men who will stand tall for the emergence of the African Continent.

Carrington fellowship identifies emerging non-profit and social enterprise leaders in Nigeria and provides them with opportunities to become global leaders. The one-year long fellowship program provides access to leading networks from private, public and non-profit sectors across the country, funding to implement strategic social initiatives and opportunities to learn from thought-leaders in the sector.

The fellowship is funded and directed in conjunction with the Public Affairs Section at the U.S. Consulate General, Lagos. The program selects fellows who demonstrate exceptional vision, skills and experience. Fellows are them grouped into teams based on interest, and teams then develop and implement their own youth engagement project over the course of the one-year fellowship duration.

In addition to working with their team to bring their project into fruition, Carrington fellows have the opportunity to attend various networking events, roundtables and forums on relevant social issues, hosted by the U.S. Consulate General, Lagos. The year will conclude with an awards ceremony for fellows, where fellows will be inducted into the Carrington Alumni Program.
