About Inspire!

Empowering young people. Transforming communities

Inspire! is a GEANCO Foundation leadership program for David Oyelowo Leadership Scholars. We equip young people with the skills, mindset and opportunities to lead with purpose and create meaningful change.

Our Story

From a simple idea to a growing movement.

Inspire! was born from a belief — that young people, when given the right support, can do extraordinary things.

How Inspire! Started

Inspire! began as a vision within the GEANCO Foundation — a simple idea to create a space where young people could grow, learn, and develop the confidence to lead. 

Why It Was Created

We created Inspire! because we saw the potential in young people — and the lack of opportunities to help them reach it.  We wanted to change that.

The Opportunity

The world needs more confident, skilled, and compassionate leaders.  When empowered, young people can create solutions, transform their communities and build a better future.

Program Evolution

From a simple idea, Inspire! has grown into a structured leadership program with multiple learning pillars, experienced mentors,  and a growing community of young change-makers.
