Engagement After the Program

One of the most important questions after the 4-week program is: What’s Next? Alumni will have continued opportunities to connect, continue their learning, help to shape future cohorts of the program, and to apply the lessons, tools, and techniques learned to benefit their communities.

Some of the Center’s exclusive alumni-only opportunities include:

Alumni Board of Directors
Volunteer Engagement - Serving as volunteers via country-based Alumni Chapters or as Country Liaisons, alumni can help to coordinate activities, host trainings, recruit prospective participants, review applications, and engage the community.
Networking
Transformation Fund - Applying for financial and non-financial resources that support collective action that help alumni to provide meaningful activities, trainings, events, workshops, and forums to their communities and countries.
Internships
Networking, Events & Continued Learning -Taking advantage of specialized networking occasions (e.g., with local investors, public officials, etc.), social events, continued educational opportunities such as monthly Learning Labs, and a platform to keep connected with fellow graduates.
Career Placement
Career Development Opportunities - Applying for internships and job opportunities curated by the Center’s Alumni Relations team and shared on the alumni-only portal.

Alumni Honor Roll

Alumni of the program are encouraged to continue leveraging the tools, skills, and knowledge that they learned during the 4-week program and to share with other members of their communities. This Pay-it-Forward approach will ensure that every young man and woman in East and Central Africa would have the opportunity to be empowered to take steps to improve quality of life in their homes, communities, and countries.

There are ways that alumni engagement is measured - through what we call the 3P's: (1) Philanthropy; (2) Perpetuate; and (3) Participate. A point is given to each alumnus after completing the respective activity (a visual guide is below). Following is the Alumni Honor Roll which recognizes alumni who have earned at least one point in one of the three categories.

Alumni Award Winners

The YALI Regional Leadership Center East Africa would like to recognize alumni who have been caught in the act of performing or implementing the 3P’s (Perpetuate, Participate, and Philanthropy). These 3P’s are critical to measuring how engaged alumni are with their alma mater and with each other. The 3P’s also gauge the impact that alumni are having on communities as a result of their membership in the program.

The following individuals are alumni who have gone above and beyond the simple completion of the program and seek to serve as passionate ambassadors of the Center by: Perpetuating volunteer opportunities; Participating in trainings and events to empower themselves and others; and contributing Philanthropy of time, resources, or services.
