Youth Leadership

Connecting youth through technology

Imagine an army of young people - well educated, all tech-savvy.

Motivated, poised and self-confident team players who have served their communities and who are committed to building their nations. Building a better world.

Trained in facilitation, comfortable with computers and business principles, they are role models, mentors, and coaches to their peer groups and elders.

Transforming youth into leaders of change

Digital Opportunity Trust transforms young women and men into leaders of change in their communities and schools during their engagements as Interns within DOT's global economic and education programming. Over 2,000 young people have served as DOT Interns in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and North America.

Imagine young leaders from different cultures, countries, time zones, disciplines and backgrounds sharing knowledge, ideas, energy and solutions.

The DOT Intern Alumni Network ties these young people together in a powerful social and business network that continues after their assignments with DOT. The network maintains virtual relationships among the Interns and the community participants with whom they have worked and provides the social networking and collaboration tools so that they are encouraged to continue to apply their leadership, project planning, coaching and ICT skills through community development initiatives.

The DOT Intern Alumni Network is a global knowledge sharing and social networking platform that also connects participants to executive mentors and private sectors partners, to job opportunities, to business coaches and micro-finance as they pursue their own enterprise.

Most importantly, the DOT Intern Alumni Network is an accessible international community of young leaders of change, experienced team players, ready to bring fresh perspectives and design new solutions. Imagine.
