- ABOUT POA YOUTH AWARDS

POA YOUTH AWARDS is a platform that recognizes and celebrates Young Africans who have demonstrated phenomenal achievements within their chosen fields of occupation. Their scripts reflect such words as achievement, success, dignity, persistence, pride…words that seem to be at a divergence with the ‘realities’ of Africa. This crop of youth has refused to have ‘deferred dreams’. They have success stories to tell and share. They are eager to have their peers generate their sparks too. Indeed it only takes a spark to get a fire going. A fire that will light up the continent then we can confidently say, ‘It is time for Africa’, and back it up with real meaning.
