Call for Applications - QEDA Youth Vanguards for Education (YVE) Fellowship Program

Are you a young, passionate Nigerian eager to advance education reform in Nigeria?

• QEDA, in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, Unveiling Africa and SEED Care & Support Foundation, is excited to announce the Call for Applications for our Youth Vanguards for Education (YVE) Fellowship Program.

About the YVE Fellowship

Education is a major pillar of human capital development. Yet, Nigeria’s education indices are significantly low.

Over 70% of Nigerian children experience learning poverty.

• And, while youths are generally driving Sustainable Development across several sectors, their presence is significantly lower for education related advocacy.
• This fellowship aims to bridge these demand and supply gaps by empowering a generation of young change-makers with the knowledge, skills and opportunities to advocate for education reform in Nigeria.
• The YVE Fellowship is a six-month program designed to empower young Nigerians to drive impactful reform in the field of education.
• Youths will be empowered with evidence-based knowledge, skills, resources and opportunities that will enable them to make informed decisions about their roles as agents of education development in Nigeria, especially through advocacy and innovation to gain first-hand experience.
• Through a 2-month comprehensive virtual training, and a school immersion internship, fellows will become equipped to drive education reform at scale.
• Successful candidates would engage with mentors, and fellow youth vanguards to collaboratively build capacity to effect change within the education sector.

In Phase One of the program, you will undergo a 2-month virtual training covering soft skills development, Africanization, Leadership, School Safeguarding, Climate Education, advocacy, and Early Grade Reading.

This training will facilitate your smooth transition into Phase Two consisting of a school immersion program and a pet project of your choice.

• Are you a passionate Nigerian youth (18 - 32 years) with an interest in fostering reform in Nigeria’s education sector?
• Are you looking for an opportunity to explore innovative ideas, collaborate, and contribute to education advocacy for development in Nigeria?
