Hi there, In communities all over the world, the next generation of changemakers are leading with their values to tackle our biggest challenges. At The Obama Foundation, our job is to inspire, empower, and connect them to supercharge their impact and reach. Today, I’m honored to introduce you to the 205 inspiring young people who make up our class of 2024-2025 Obama Leaders. Get to know the Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and United States cohorts. | |
Hailing from 70 different nations and territories, these Leaders are already innovating to make a difference in their fields–from using a TikTok campaign to help government leaders connect with young people to helping women achieve economic empowerment through coding bootcamps. Now, these changemakers are ready to take their work to the next level. During their time in the Leaders program, they’ll learn from each others’ perspectives, challenge their previously held beliefs, and collaborate to achieve greater, more sustainable impact. We can’t wait to see what they achieve next. Take a moment to get to know these Leaders and find some inspiration for your own work. –Valerie Valerie Jarrett CEO, The Obama Foundation | |
