<div><div class="description">The Leaders program of the Obama Foundation seeks to unite, empower, and encourage local groups of changemakers to expedite long-term, constructive change in their neighbourhoods and across their region. Usually between the ages of 24 and 45, these up-and-coming global leaders create communities and civilizations based on shared values where everyone is welcome, encouraged to contribute, and able to prosper.In 2018, the Leaders programme began in Africa; in 2019, it expanded to Asia Pacific; and in 2020, it began in Europe. Obama Foundation&rsquo;s Leaders program unveiled the newest initiative in the US at the Obama Foundation Democracy Forum in New York City. The leaders of the Obama Foundation come from many different countries and regions, work in the public, corporate, and nonprofit sectors, and deal with a wide range of social impact concerns.The Leaders programme provides small group support, leadership coaching, debate of important problems, and the development of practical skills for social change. As participants, Leaders establish a foundation of values for long-term leadership, build relationships with others to spark more inclusive, long-lasting change, and get ready to tackle problems at the systemic level. Leaders will acquire a better grasp of how values-based leadership enhances their capacity to effect change after completing the programme. With fresh insights and abilities, they will be motivated to act more. Most crucially, by joining the Obama Leadership Network, an expanding global alumni group of almost 900 engaged changemakers, Leaders will continue to broaden their regional and global perspective.
