Would You Like Your Students to Join the Next Cohort?
Leaders of the Free World (LFW) provides international experience and leadership development to young Black men (18-27).
Our program focuses on creating a brotherhood of high potential young men ready to up-level their leadership skills and redefine their possibilities.
We're looking for organizations with similar missions (Black Male Achievement) who are interested in sending 1 or 2 of their young men to join the next LFW cohort to Ghana.
The LFW experience is more than just a trip...
In addition to the international exposure, our fellows engage in personal and professional development activities, before, during, and after their trip, that target social and psychological barriers to success. What we have found is that through this process, participants return home, ready to apply the skills they have learned in full force on behalf of themselves and their respective communities.
Our mission is to develop dynamic leaders who are globally-minded, self-aware, and service-driven.
Partners play a key role in the Leaders of the Free World’s (LFW) program; helping us to achieve our mission to cultivate black male leaders of tomorrow. Partners provide invaluable support to the organization by identifying potential students, guiding them through the application steps, and supporting their participation in the program.
