" I am so excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it is one of the rarest opportunities for me to team up globally with young chaps that really care about their society and are contributing immensely to it's growth and development. I am involved in the FAME Illuminate Project because I am quite passionate about quality education for teenagers and I am really interested in using this medium to give back to my community. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: FAME Illuminate Project

FAME Illuminate project is a project designed to enlighten and re-orientate the mindsets of teenagers in middle and high schools, daring them to seize opportunities and platform to lead. It is a value driven class-based leadership and civic engagement program for teenagers in middle/high schools with the primary aim of educating them on their true identity as leaders, the importance of their offices as citizens, educating them on the SDGs and challenging them to start making positive impact in their communities even while still in middle/high school.
