Elevate chapters

Local leadership. Shared standard. National possibility.

Elevate's chapter model equips young leaders to design accountable programmes for the communities they know, supported by a common mission, tools and learning network.

A view of the Makoko community

The network today

Two flagship chapters. A wider movement taking shape.

Nigeria's opportunity gaps look different from city to city. Local chapters make it possible to listen closely, build with local institutions and adapt programmes without diluting Elevate's standard.
