US - South Africa Young Leaders Summit

About the US-South Africa Young Leaders Summit in Cape Town, South Africa

The US-South African Young Leaders Summit, which is organized by a nonprofit organization known as The Learning Circle Network, is a five-day educational experience joining high school students from the United States and South Africa together to learn new leadership skills and ways that they each can be involved in shaping the future of their communities.

Held at the University of Cape Town – Breakwater Campus, the summit offers leadership development and community building workshops for teens from South Africa and the United States, including delegates from partnering organizations in San Diego and Detroit, with local leaders and officials. Site visits to locations around Cape Town, such as Robben Island, local townships and institutions engaged in post-Apartheid community building are included in the program.
