Youth Leaders

Investing in the next generation of Congolese-Irish leadership — students, young professionals and second-generation voices shaping the future.

Youth Council

A 12-member elected Youth Council (ages 16–28) advises the CCI Board on issues affecting Congolese youth in Ireland: education, integration, identity and opportunity.

Leadership programme

An annual cohort of 25 young Congolese receive structured mentorship, leadership training and a placement with a partner organisation across Ireland's public, corporate or NGO sectors.

Youth Leader of the Year

Recognised at the Annual Excellence Awards, the prize honours a young Congolese under 30 whose impact has shaped community, civic or professional life in Ireland.
