YSA Global is a dynamic, community-driven non-profit organization committed to shaping the future of young professionals.
Our mission is to provide strategic mentorship, coaching, and capacity-building programs that empower individuals to navigate their professional journeys with confidence, unlock leadership potential, and create sustainable impact in their industries and communities
What began as a bold idea has now evolved into a global movement. In April 2020, we launched YoungSmart Africa, driven by a vision to instill agency in young people—helping them take charge of their futures with confidence. As our mission deepened, we recognized an urgent need to support mid-career women navigating leadership and career transitions. This led to the birth of Araba Africa in 2021, a platform dedicated to unlocking the leadership potential of women in Africa
Now, as YSA Global, we stand at the intersection of personal and professional growth, bridging the gap between ambition and achievement. Our journey has shaped a comprehensive ecosystem that nurtures proactive living, purpose discovery, and career development, ensuring young professionals and mid-career women have the tools, mentorship, and strategies to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
At YSA Global, we believe that success is not just about climbing the corporate ladder—it’s about creating impact, leading with intention, and building a legacy of transformation. Through our tailored coaching, mentorship programs, and strategic partnerships, we empower individuals to redefine their career paths and embrace leadership with confidence.
