CREATING SPACE TO LEARN. BUILDING CONFIDENCE TO LEAD.

At LEAD Sierra Leone, we believe empowering young people goes beyond providing opportunities, it means creating safe, practical, and supportive spaces where they can learn, grow, and discover their potential.

Today, we welcomed six final-year students from Ernest Bai Koroma University of Science and Technology (EBKUST) who will join LEAD Sierra Leone for a two-month internship programme.

Welcoming the interns, Managing Director, Mr. Musa Kondeh, encouraged them to be punctual, curious, committed, and always ready to learn. He reminded them that the next two months will be an interactive and practical learning journey, offering opportunities to engage with the team, gain experience, and develop new skills.

He further reaffirmed LEAD Sierra Leone's commitment to unleashing the potential of young people, emphasizing that these interns are an important part of that commitment.

The interns expressed their enthusiasm to learn, contribute, and work alongside the LEAD Sierra Leone team. They also extended their appreciation to the management for welcoming them and creating this opportunity.

Two months. Six young minds. One shared journey of learning, growth, and impact.

We've taken the conversation to Bombali District. This morning, LCOY 2026 is at the Regional Library in Makeni City for the Regional Youth Consultation, bringing together young people from across the region to share their priorities on climate change in Sierra Leone.

This consultation is part of the lead up to LCOY 2026, Sierra Leone's Local Conference of Youth, officially endorsed by LCOY and a project of YOUNGO, the official youth constituency of the UNFCCC. The discussions here in Makeni will help shape the National Youth Statement and ensure that voices from Bombali are represented at the national conference in October.

Huge thanks to our co-hosts, Youth Climate Council Sierra Leone, Forum for Agriculture, innovation and empowerment for Children and Youths, Foundation for Youth Empowerment and Advocacy, DearPlastic DearPlastic, ECO-Tourism Hub, Youth Initiative 4 Climate Action, and Action For Community Resilience Group - ACRG , and to our partners, , Sunrise Movement Sierra Leone, YAD Sierra Leone, Girls Connect Sierra Leone, MTeC innovative hub, and LEAD Sierra Leone, for making this possible.

YOUTH IS NOW. YOUTH IS POWER. YOUTH IS IMPACT.

Every generation carries a story. Ours is being written by young people who dare to dream, choose to lead, and turn ideas into action.

This International Youth Day, LEAD Sierra Leone celebrates the young changemakers shaping communities, creating opportunities, and building a better future.

The future is not waiting for us we are building it today.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT A DISTANT CONVERSATION, IT IS ALREADY SHAPING THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

As a partner of the Local Conference of Youth Sierra Leone (LCOY Sierra Leone), LEAD Sierra Leone is proud to be part of a growing conversation about how we can respond to the climate challenges facing our country.

Through our work with young people and communities, we continue to see how climate change touches livelihoods, food systems, resilience, and the opportunities available to the next generation.

Being part of these consultations is therefore more than simply being in the room. It is an opportunity to listen, learn, share our experiences, and help ensure that young people’s voices are reflected in the solutions we build.

Because the future is not something we wait for.

It is something we shape, together, today.

FROM MINING SCARS TO A FUTURE OF RESTORATION. 🌱

Across five communities in Kono District, we are working with communities, technical experts, and local leaders to restore 500 hectares of mining-degraded land.

From listening to communities and mapping the land to assessing soil health, every step is helping us understand what it will take to restore these landscapes and rebuild sustainable livelihoods.

This is the beginning of a journey—from evidence to action, from degradation to recovery, and from scars to hope.

Supported by Youth4Climate.

EVERY MONTH ARRIVES WITH A QUESTION: WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE DAYS AHEAD?

July has become a story. August places a blank page before us.

May we fill it with purpose instead of excuses, courage instead of fear, and actions that leave footprints long after the month has passed.

Here's to new beginnings, meaningful work, and lives transformed, one day at a time.

Welcome, August.!

SOME DOORS ONLY OPEN WHEN YOU DARE TO KNOCK.

Once, someone just like you filled out an application they almost ignored. Today, they're studying abroad, leading change in their community, building a career they once only dreamed about.

The opportunity didn't change their life. Their decision to apply did.

At LEAD Sierra Leone, we believe no dream should be limited by a lack of information. That's why we'll be sharing verified local and global opportunities, scholarships, fellowships, internships, jobs, grants, conferences, competitions, and training programs, to help young people take the next step toward their future.

When you see an opportunity, don't scroll past it. Read it. Believe in yourself. Apply. Then share it with someone whose life it might change.

Because sometimes, the future begins with a single application.

Follow LEAD Sierra Leone and never miss your next opportunity.
