The Youth Lifeshift Programme is a skills acquisition programme of LEAP Foundation aimed at building capacity and developing critical skills of the youths of Africa. This is through the utilisation of the power of coaching to reinforce positive belief systems, change negative mindsets, and optimise special skills, in order to effectively energise and appropriately position African youths for future leadership.

International Coaching and Mentoring Institute (ICMI), a specialist coaching solutions, coach training and skills development organisation is the facilitator of the coaching and mentoring aspect of the project. The role of LEAP Foundation is project management and resource mobilisation, working alongside Destiny Media Africa and Easy Practical Projects (Pty) Ltd, who are the other partners.

The Youth LifeShift Programme is a response to the growing need for radical, but practical and easier ways to combat the myriad of problems facing the younger generations of Africans. The coaching and mentoring initiative specifically offers an opportunity for sustainable and cost-effective, “just-in-time” intervention, through integrated qualitative youth coaching and mentoring solutions.
