The Academy is specifically devoted to the empowerment of girls through leadership development programmes. It takes the form of weekly, weekend and holiday training camps where girls (ages 12-19) can develop a positive vision for themselves, their communities and for Africa.

Two different programme streams are offered to accommodate the interests of girls. They can combine their leadership education with either:

• Improving their performance in a competitive sport, or

• Acquiring the knowledge, skills and attitude to pursue a physically active lifestyle.

The Academy uses a mentoring system where women students from the University work with the girls to guide them as they practice their emerging leadership skills in community engagement projects.
