About African Leadership Academy

African Leadership Academy (ALA) is a pre-eminent educational institution that seeks to transform Africa by identifying, developing, and connecting its future leaders. The Academy was founded on the philosophy that a new generation of ethical, committed leaders is the key to Africa’s development. ALA is the training ground for these future leaders. To achieve our mission of developing the next generation of African leaders, ALA has attracted a diverse “staffulty” (staff and faculty) of global change makers: world-class professionals who share our values and passion for Africa and her youth. Working at ALA means being part of a community of diverse cultures driven by a shared commitment to creating positive social change on the African continent. We seek talented dynamic professionals and passionate people to join our team, who will add to the current fabric of staff and faculty with an enthusiasm for Africa and its youthful leaders.
