One of Africa’s leading non-profit organisations that focuses on youth leadership development, LEAP Africa, has launched a book specifically designed for teenagers.

The book, titled “Navigating Your Teenage Years,” offers an array of stories and insights on how teenagers can embark on a journey of self-discovery to become catalysts for change in their communities.

According to the publishers, the book is a comprehensive resource aimed at equipping teenagers with the essential tools for self-leadership, enabling them to unlock their full potential.

Besides, it uses stories of some of LEAP Africa’s outstanding alumni to guide adolescents as they navigate their teenage years and serves as a resource for improving their agency into becoming transformational leaders and social change actors.
