Acumen West Africa has named date for Fellows 2021. The Fellows program is designed to equip emerging leaders from across the region with the knowledge, skills, and community needed to amplify their work, tackling problems of poverty and injustice.
The Acumen Fellowship is an intensive leadership development program for individuals who are building the solutions to tackle the toughest problems of our time.
The Acumen West Africa Fellows Program brings together exceptional leaders from across West Africa (Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and The Gambia) who are daring to embrace the difficult journey of social change. Over the course of the year, the Fellows will come together to learn with–and from–each other.
As a deeply bonded cohort, they will engage with a curriculum that is based on practical skills and character, geared towards action and grounded in the value of moral leadership. After they finish the first year of the Fellowship, the Fellows join our global community of 698 Fellows.
Acumen Academy is a university, reimagined—offering anyone, anywhere access to the training they need to be effective agents of change. As the world’s first and largest global school for social change, we are unleashing entrepreneurial moral leadership by making the knowledge, expertise, and resources of Acumen and its trusted community widely available and accessible.
Acumen Academy blends the best of online and offline learning to build the practical skills needed to achieve social change. Our communities are locally-rooted in the change they are driving, yet globally connected in learning, collaborating, challenging, and supporting each other.
The Acumen Academy team, its 698 Fellows, and 450,000 course takers represent a global ecosystem of learners and doers, ready to think differently, learn collaboratively, and build a more just and inclusive world.
Acumen Academy Fellows are emerging leaders who come from diverse cultural, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds and can be found tackling problems of poverty or injustice in early- stage social ventures, non-governmental organizations, government, community-based organizations or the private sector.
