The programme targets young Kenyan future leaders between the age of 18-35 drawn from civil society organizations, trade unions and political parties.<\/p>\n<p>The training provides young leaders with skills, networks and expertise relevant for political leadership at different levels. The PLGP encourages young Kenyans to take on the shared democratic responsibility that will be needed to build the socially just and democratic Kenya that they and those they will represent in future want.<\/p>\n<p>The programme combines two weeks of immersive training with a four-month mentorship journey equiping young leaders with a comprehensive set of soft and hard leadership skills. These skills serve as invaluable tools for them to contribute towards fostering a more inclusive and dignified Kenya. Moreover, the training program specifically targets the empowerment of young leaders, including those from marginalized communities and vulnerable groups in Kenya. By doing so, they aim to empower and uplift those who have been historically side-lined, enabling them to actively participate in shaping a more socially just, equitable and prosperous society.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You are aged 18\u201335 and active in civil society, trade unions, or political parties.<\/li>\n<li>You believe in Social justice, Social Democracy, and a Kenyan society that guarantees dignity and equitable opportunities for all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Application<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FES Kenya welcomes applications\u00a0until May 4th 2026 at midnight\u00a0by applying through the form.
