Overview

The Youth Development and Leadership Workshop Series (YouDaL) is a flagship initiative of the Amaka Chiwuike-Uba Foundation (ACUF), designed to empower young people with essential life planning, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills. Held monthly, YouDaL equips youth with the tools to succeed by helping them work, learn, thrive, connect, and lead in today’s dynamic world.

YouDaL is more than a workshop — it’s a movement to cultivate responsible, confident, and visionary youth leaders capable of driving meaningful change in both public and private sectors.

Objectives

  • To build leadership capacity among youth through hands-on training
  • To foster entrepreneurial thinking, critical problem-solving, and self-reliance
  • To develop political consciousness and encourage civic engagement
  • To equip young people with life planning and soft skills for future decision-making roles

Activities & Components

  • The YouDaL series features interactive workshops, group projects, leadership simulations, and expert-led training sessions on topics such as:

    • Leadership and communication skills
    • Financial literacy and personal planning
    • Entrepreneurship and innovation
    • Political education and civic responsibility
    • Emotional intelligence and resilience
    • Public speaking and personal branding

    Each session includes peer-to-peer learning, mentorship from professionals, and real-world case studies tailored to Nigerian and global realities.

Impact & Outcomes

  • Trained over 1000 youth leaders across various states
  • Increased youth involvement in community projects, politics, and entrepreneurship
  • Positive behavioral and attitudinal changes reported by participants and facilitators
  • Alumni have gone on to lead school initiatives, launch businesses, and serve in youth advisory boards
