Relève Leadership is a non-profit organization founded in 2016, committed to training and supporting a new generation of young leaders.
For ten years, it has worked to train young people who are more aware of societal challenges, more effective as citizens, and more engaged in their community’s development.
What sets Relève Leadership apart is a pedagogical approach firmly centered on experience, participation, and action. The organization doesn’t just pass on knowledge — it trains young people who can think, propose, and act concretely in their own environments.
Relève Leadership's mission is to train a new generation of young people who are aware of societal challenges, inspire them to become competent and responsible citizens, and mobilize them for development and good governance in their communities.
Our vision is to build a society where every young person feels legitimate, equipped, and inspired to shape the future of their community — and to make Relève Leadership a reference in youth civic leadership training.
A set of values that guide all our interventions and programs.
We believe every young person has the capacity and responsibility to contribute actively to society. Engagement isn't an abstract ideal — it's a daily practice we cultivate through every one of our programs.
We value collective intelligence far above individual performance. True leadership is built through dialogue, listening, and shared work.
We train citizens who understand how institutions work and take part in them in an informed and engaged way.
We act with transparency and consistency in every one of our actions. Ethics isn't a constraint — it's a foundation of our organizational identity.
The leadership we teach is a service to the community, never a privilege reserved for a few. Our programs are designed to be accessible to all young people, whatever their background.
Relève Leadership's work is built on three fundamental, complementary pillars.
Pillar 1
Pass on knowledge and build civic and leadership skills in young people, using participatory methods.
Pillar 2
Spark awareness and a shift in mindset among participants. It’s not just about learning — it’s about becoming an agent of change.
Pillar 3
Support young people as they carry out concrete initiatives serving their community, giving them the tools, network, and backing they need to move from idea to action.
Relève Leadership's program is built on three complementary pillars: Youth, Leadership, and Governance.
Relève Leadership place la jeunesse au coeur de son action. Cet axe vise à comprendre, mobiliser et accompagner les jeunes dans leur développement personnel et citoyen. Il s’agit de créer des espaces d’expression, de réflexion et d’apprentissage qui permettent aux jeunes de mieux se situer dans leur environnement social, de renforcer leur confiance en eux et de développer leur sens des responsabilités.
The Youth pillar recognizes that young people aren’t tomorrow’s leaders — they are full actors today, capable of contributing positively to their environment when they have the spaces and tools to do so.
Cet axe est consacré au développement des compétences de leadership chez les jeunes. Relève Leadership oeuvre à former des leaders capables d’influencer positivement leur communauté, en mettant l’accent sur des dimensions essentielles :
À travers cet axe, Relève Leadership vise à renforcer la compréhension et la participation des jeunes aux mécanismes de gouvernance locale et nationale :
This pillar aims to bridge the gap that often separates young people from institutions, giving them the keys to understand, challenge, and influence the decisions that affect them.
