We exist to inspire a generation of youth who are ready to lead, innovate, and influence change, starting from their immediate communities to the world at large.

The idea for the Young and Bold Summit was born out of a simple yet powerful belief that young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow, but the bold voices of today.
Founded by Chioma Ononiwu, the summit began as a vision to create a space where youth can gather to learn, unlearn, and be inspired to live intentionally.
What started as a dream has now become a movement — connecting young people, thought leaders, and change-makers who share one goal: to build a generation that leads with courage, values, and vision.
