Opportunities & Leadership

Linking young people with opportunities at home and abroad: the Winning Global Opportunities webinars and a Career Orientation Tour that takes guidance into high schools.

Talent is everywhere. Information is not.

Many talented young Cameroonians miss out on scholarships, fellowships and global conferences, not because they are not good enough, but because nobody ever explained how the system works. Linking youths with opportunities locally and internationally is one of our founding objectives.

Winning Global Opportunities

Our free webinar series is built on one idea: global opportunities are not luck. Young people who have won them share exactly how, across four areas:

  • Education and global conference opportunities
  • Leadership, advocacy and policy spaces
  • Career and professional growth for global roles
  • Funding, entrepreneurship and innovation

Session 2.0 in January 2026 featured youth leaders Ngako P. and Harris Tanui Tamanjong. It did not promise shortcuts; it offered a blueprint.

Career Orientation Tour

In many of our schools, career exposure is limited and aspirations have been worn down by the economic crisis. In December 2025 we started a Career Orientation Tour with Skye8 and Women Techmakers Bambili, taking real professionals into high school classrooms. Facilitators included Akumbu L. Jones Bubuh of La Libertè Arts Groupe, data scientist and WTM Ambassador Divina Mbel, and our founder Yekov Cindy. We plan to visit many more schools.
