I a
ttended Cohort 20 in Civic Leadership with these Expectations.

TO Crate a YOUTH platform from the grassroots to the policy making levels and on to leadership positions.
 A platform where the thoughts, ideas, concerns and complaints of young people are not just heard but listened to. Enabling and encouraging constructive dialogue that filters down and comes together to light up the way to a representative and bright tomorrow for the youth of today. Contrary to the traditional wisdom, youth are not the leaders of tomorrow. We are the leaders of today. As such we must seize the opportunities availed us and strive to achieve as much positive change as we can.
