| SCHOLARS PROGRAM

We provide Entrepreneurial Leadership training to secondary school students between 15 and 19 who are passionate and committed to creating lasting change in their communities. Our scholars are selected for their academic performance, ideas for local solutions and their drive to be change makers. Over 50% of our students come from rural areas and over 80% of them come from low-income households.

Over the course of two years, these scholars are immersed in our curriculum and guided by trained Mentors and Tutors to excel in the following areas: enterprise creation, community engagement and academic excellence.

| TWAME HUB

"TWAME" means knowledge in the Esu language of Cameroon.

Through our Twame hub, we equip young people with 21st-century skills and enable them to use the power of their own creativity to create local solutions to community challenges.

We run workshops, training, and mentoring sessions for youths between the ages of 15 and 29.

We empower these young people with the knowledge, skills, networks, and resources to access tertiary education, employment opportunities and start businesses.

Our main areas of focus are;

  • Entrepreneurship
  • Career guidance
  • Computer literacy 

| GAME CHANGERS CHALLENGE

Sponsored by Simone Fobi and Iretiayo Akinola, the Game Changers Challenge is a pitch competition which enables JumpStart Academy Africa scholars to tap into their entrepreneurial potential, collaborate with peers having the same vision or mindset to start entrepreneurial initiatives in their respective field of interest.
Through the Game changers Challenge, we hope to mobilize and fund young Cameroonians in senior secondary and high schools with potential innovative ideas and provide them with the tools to transform these ideas into marketable services or products.
