2. C.I.T.Y (Catch and Inspire Them Young) is a
leadership development and character shaping
transformation program targeted at teenagers. It
is primarily aimed at re-orientating the minds of
teenagers in the areas of personal mastery,
leadership, educational excellence, national
development consciousness and
entrepreneurship.
Over the last 4 years, C.I.T.Y has engaged over 1,300
volunteers and scores of corporate partners to
reach over 7,500 teenagers with our award-
winning leadership development programs; while
other projects that have reached over another
5000 unique individuals.
In 2015, The C.I.T.Y Summer Leadership School
hosted over 450 teenagers in four multiple
locations simultaneously- Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan,
and Ota. This project engaged over 250 volunteers
sourced from the length and breadth of Nigeria,
and was a most exciting experience!

3. This year’s C.I.T.Y Summer Leadership
Program was my best so far- it was
stretching physically, ?nancially and
mentally- it was indeed truly inspiring! I
enjoyed every bit of time I spent working
with over 250 extraordinary volunteers in
Lagos, Abuja, Ota and Ibadan to inspire
over 450 teenagers into becoming leaders,
entrepreneurs and change agents.
We are deeply grateful to the organisations
and individual contributors that made
C.I.T.Y 2015 a reality. Special thanks to
Flour Mills Nigeria, Passage Gold, Wilson
Juice Co, Covenant University Alumni
Association and David Oyedepo
Foundation.
Why are we doing what we are doing? Why should you join us to
Catch and Inspire Teens Young?
Over ?fty percent of Nigerians are below the age of eighteen- this
demography forms the foundation of a New Nigeria. To create this
new Nigeria, the current limiting mind-sets, belief systems, value
systems and mediocrity can be corrected by properly orientating
teenagers- who are still very impressionable.
We cannot just fold our hands and expect a values-driven, innovative,
entrepreneurial, insightful, courteous, disciplined and patriotic
citizenry. Rather, we have to develop and implement the right
strategic and systematic solutions to raise a new generation of leaders,
while also trying to salvage older generations. C.I.T.Y is a leader in the
teenager category- we are positioned to facilitate the transformation
of Nigeria by raising teenagers to be leaders and change agents.
As we move into 2016, we are working harder to further optimise our
curriculum, operations, and delivery. We are presently redesigning our
C.I.T.Y Impact Model to incorporate e-learning modules, Training the
Trainers systems, and action (problem-based) learning. Furthermore,
in 2016, we will be launching the C.I.T.Y Weekend Boot Camps in other
cities of Africa.
We want to do bigger things better! We invite you all into this
worthwhile mission of building our youth for the future.
We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build
our youth for the future.” -Franklin D. Roosevelt

4. Welcome to the 2015 C.I.T.Y Program
report. This year’s report features wondrous
feats accomplished by the C.I.T.Y. program
in the lives of its participants from
inception till date.
For the past four years, I have had the
privilege of serving as the program
coordinator for C.I.T.Y. I am indeed awed at
the growth of the program- from
impacting just a few students to reaching
out to hundreds of teenagers in multiple
locations across Nigeria. We have
accomplished this in large part due to
supporters like you who have invested your
time, talents, and resources in our mission.
As we begin to look towards a new year, I
am excited by the new opportunities to
expand the reach and impact of our
programs. As usual, we are continuously
enhancing our programs to ensure that
participant’s are transformed for positive
impact in their homes, schools and

7. CITY is more than a
program, it's a movement
for true leadership in
Nigeria and Africa at large.
We have a goal but no true
destination as it’s a
continuous journey to
achieving leadership
centered and empowered
youths

8. C.I.T.Y. Summer Leadership Camp is a
leadership development program
focused on causing teenagers between
the ages 13 – 18 to imbibe the culture of
leadership. The program was conceived
with the main objective of developing
the leadership potential in these
teenagers by training and mentoring
them on sound leadership principles
and values.
In the short years since our founding, we
have contributed to the transformation
of Nigeria’s youth, through our training
and developmental programs that hold
at various times all through the year.
These programs are usually hosted in
schools and other institutions for
teenagers, but a key event for us each
year is the C.I.T.Y Summer Leadership
Program.
The C.I.T.Y journey began in the summer
of 2012 and four years down the line and
the passion for teen empowerment is
still alive in us. We strongly believe that
sound leadership is the key ingredient
to achieving the Nigeria of our dreams.
What better way to do this than to begin
to teach our teenagers what leadership
really is. With the help of our enriched
curriculum and practical team activities
they begin to think critically and
creatively, they are taught to work more
collaboratively, they are empowered to
solve problems. At the heart of it all, they
begin to see that they are leaders where
they are; right there in their homes,
schools and in their society. They learn
that leadership is not in position but in
accepting responsibilities for a people
or a cause.
15
WhyTeen
Leadership?
This year, The CITY
program was themed
“Leader’s Arise”
in a quest to awaken
the spirit of leadership
in these teenagers
In a nation where over 50% of its population are
under 18 years of age, the greatest investment
that can be made is in the lives of those people.
It has been habitually said over time that
children are the leaders of tomorrow, but if they
don’t begin to learn of leadership today, what
hope do we have of tomorrow?
For these teenagers will grow to become the
doctors, business men, artists and policy makers
of Nigeria. They are essentially the future. If we
16

9. inspire, develop and train them in the
solid foundation and principles of true
leadership, then we are indeed
securing the future.
Research shows that youth with high
self-esteem, self con?dence, and good
social and communication skills will
have more successful academic, social,
and vocational outcomes. Effective
leadership is also dependent on social,
emotional, communication and
interpersonal competencies. Programs
such as CITY program that can
successfully teach and sustain these
skills in teenagers are thus very
valuable tools.
We believe that leadership can be
taught and learned as a way of life and
with a well articulated curriculum and
developmental activities, we can raise
leaders!.
At C.I.T.Y, we provide an enabling
environment for participants to develop
the ability to analyze his or her own
strengths and weaknesses, set personal
and vocational goals, and have the self-
esteem, con?dence,, and abilities to
carry them out. Beyond this,
participants are able to develop the
ability to guide or direct themselves
?rst and then others on a course of
action, in?uence the opinions and
behaviors of others, and serve as a role
model in their communities, schools
and homes.
We also foster a culture where
participants/teenagers are referred to
as leaders through out the program. By
doing so, they begin to see themselves
as important and vital ingredients to
successful development of the society,
they begin to see themselves as leaders.

C.I.T.Y. 2015
Summer
Program
at a glance
C.I.T.Y program has provided a platform for
teenagers to understand their role in the
community and encourage them to fully
participate in community life and effect
positive social change.
The 2015 C.I.TY summer program was a non-residential program that took place
simultaneously in four locations across Nigeria; Lagos, Ota, Abuja and Ibadan. The
geographical spread allowed us to reach a wider audience of participants and
volunteers. Unlike our usual camp model where participants are boarded in the
school facility for the duration of the program, this year, participants attended the
program daily from their respective homes. The program ran from August 5th to
August 15th and came at no cost to the participants.
CAMPERS CAMPERS CAMPERS CAMPERS

10. Being a non-residential camp, a lot of
security measures were taken to ensure
every child was accounted for at all times.
The participants were split into squads for
easy management and administration. All
activities were carried out at squad level as
working in these smaller units fostered
teamwork and enhanced learning
capabilities.
This year, our volunteer base also
experienced a leap and involved interactions
with volunteers outside Nigeria. The program
facilitated the engagement of over 200
volunteers across the nation to bring about a
successful summer experience.
The number of volunteers for the program
was suf?cient to adequately cater to the
needs of the students. Our buddy system
ensured that at most, three participants were
assigned to a volunteer in their squad. All
Participants wrote down their expectation for
the program and their volunteer buddies
ensured that those expectations were met
and the participants reaped maximum
bene?t from attending the program.
Parents of participants were carried along in
this transformational journey and were a part
of the closing ceremony. The scores of
accolades and kind words spoken by some of
them during the program emphasizes the
need for continuity and improvement of the
program.
We at CITY are indeed honored to serve the
community once again through this means
and are set for more years of achieving our
leadership objectives through teenage/youth
focused programs.
19
We believe that informed
and engaged teenagers can
make a positive difference in
the world; thus our mission is
to help participants discover,
develop and deploy the
knowledge, skills, and
attitudes associated with
effective and socially
responsible leadership.

11. Our
Curriculum
Trainingand
Method
Our curriculum and training methods
go beyond giving information to our
students, it is creatively designed to
awaken their minds and stimulate
action through their hands...
Our Curriculum is designed to enable
participants develop the skills and
knowledge needed to succeed in life,
work and citizenship. The context of
our curriculum is based on 21st
century skills which are inter-
disciplinary and integrated. Students
get to learn and develop: Learning
and innovation skills, Life skills and
Career skills and Technology and
Media related skills.
Key characteristic of this curriculum
enables participants to develop major
abilities such as educational
achievement skills, character values, purposeful living
perception, leadership skills, positive relationship
building skills and creativity skills.
Classroom trainings and squad activities/competitions
are designed with a focus on creativity, critical thinking,
communication and collaboration in order to prepare
teenagers the future. Participants learn to approach
problems with a creative mindset, collaborating within
their teams to come up with solutions and effectively
communicate their thoughts and opinions to an
audience.
With the growth of technology and media, we also take
care to teach participants how to positively harness the
power of technology and social media to collaborate
and make individual contributions on an
unprecedented scale. They learn to go beyond basic
elements of status updates and instant messaging to
meaningful researching, collaborating, advertising and
advocacy.
Feedback from participants showed that classroom activities were most enjoyed part of the
summer program. This year, we introduced our students to the use of workbooks to aid learning.
The workbooks were designed to spur re?ective learning and provides spaces and clean pages
for participants to utilize.

12. The C.I.T.Y
Program
Activities
The Summer program features a number
of activities that work together to create
the ultimate summer experience for
participants. Key highlights of these
activities include:
Classroom trainings: Classroom training
were focused on C.I.T.Y’s key thematic
areas. This includes : Leadership, Personal
Mastery and Transformation, Innovation,
creativity and Entrepreneurship,
Educational Excellence and National
Development Consciousness. Other topics
covered in addition to the thematic areas
are: etiquette and personal branding, sex
education , relationships and con?ict
resolution.
Speak for change: The Speak for change
competition is aimed at driving research
and advocacy in the participants. The
competition was done at squad level.
Each squad was given a topic to research
on and deliver a compelling speech to
drive positive change. Topics ranged from
social, political, economics and
environmental facets.
Case Challenge: The purpose of the Case
challenge competition is to stimulate the
23
minds of the leaders to think critically and
proffer creative and innovative solutions to
a given challenge. This year’s challenge
was focused on building a social
enterprise that offered a solution to world
hunger. The participants were also given
the task of using the business model
canvas to pitch their idea/solution. The
technicality of this challenge spurred an
over?ow of creativity and resourcefulness
in the participants.
Career Fair: The Career fair was so
successful that at the end of the program,
we had many participants with clear
perspective of their career choice and
what they would want to become in life. It
was an expository program that involved
many different occupations and
practicing professionals. The participants
had time to interact with these
professionals who offered personal
experiences and fact based information
on their various careers and advised the
young leaders based on their individual
needs,
Workshop: This involved hands-on
training in bead-making, bag making,
pastries, tye and dye, photography, public
speaking and many more. The
participants were involved in at least one
workshop session at a time.
Sports: Sports were played at an inter-
squad level. The games were designed
with a focus on building team spirit and
fostering team work among participants.
Movie Show: The movie selected for
screening this was “spare parts”. Being a
movie focused on teenagers, participants
were able to relate with the characters
and their story and were inspired by the
outcome and lessons learned from the
movie. The movie reiterated the
importance of sound leadership and the
power of believing in one’s dreams.

20. Program
Benefits
Feedback showed that at the end of the
program, participants demonstrated a
greater improvement in their
understanding of purpose and their role in
the community. “Working on my C.I.T.Y
Action project made me realize as a 15
year old, what have I been doing with my
life ever since? It feels like time is running
out, I Just have to do something; I just
have to change this world ”
– Korede Odesanya
Participants demonstrated a greater
improvement in their social awareness
and interpersonal understanding. These
individuals are dependable, can work in a
team, can understand and relate well with
others, and have developed adequate
social skills. “Before the program, I was
very shy and would never speak a group. I
have gained so much con?dence now, I
can speak to any crowd and present my
ideas without fear.”
Participants also showed a greater
39
capacity to think creatively and proffer
solutions and are capable of
understanding and effectively solving
problems. “I’m so happy I came to this
Camp. I have seen so much opportunities
than ever before. We are not too small to
make a difference.” - Ngozi Okonta
Participants demonstrated a higher
degree of emotionally intelligent
behavior. They feel good about
themselves as well as others, being
optimistic and positive about life and the
future - Because of the career fair , I have
the knowledge to help me choose a
career
Imagine these young leaders learning to discover and
appreciate their uniqueness (gifts, talents, treasures) and
being inspired to deploy these gifts and talents in their
community.
Imagine a generation of young people, with a positive
perspective and zeal towards civic participation and nation
building.
Imagine them with re?ned character and a strong sense of
purpose, personal identity and esteem
In essence, we believe that we can develop, train and nurture
the leaders that we yearn for. Through the C.I.T.Y. platform,
teenagers can learn that leadership is beyond a person leading
a group of people, but a group of people leading themselves
to achieve a greater purpose
By supporting and promoting Leadership programs, we are
playing a huge role in in?uencing the future of the nation and
Africa as a whole.
The bene?ts of the program also extend to
our volunteers. Due to the delicacy and
importance of training, all our volunteers
undergo extensive trainings to ensure they
can deliver on C.I.T.Y goals and objectives.
These trainings go beyond the C.I.T.Y
curriculum to include courses on
emotional intelligence, presentation
delivery and public speaking that aid the
personal development of the volunteers .
Through tasks assigned to them,
volunteers are exposed to new skills and
are stretched to new heights of
knowledge and expertise. Coupled with
this, our volunteers are opened to our
network of partners and in some cases,
have been offered jobs based on our
referral and their stellar performance
during the C.I.T.Y program. Most of all,
volunteers enjoy the satisfaction that
comes with helping others excel and are
?lled with a greater sense of purpose and
achievement.

Community
We don’t stop at just trainings, we empower our
participants to be agents of change in their homes,
schools and communities. At the end of every
camp/summer program, each participant is expected to
carry out a change project called C.I.T.Y. Action Project
(CAP), either as an individual or as a team, to directly
impact their community positively.
If Education doesn’t inspire action,
nothing has been learned
C.I.T.Y. Action Project is a platform for teenagers to
proffer practicable solutions to problems in their
communities and take part in nation building. CAP offers
an outlet for the teenagers to put into practice all they
have learned and accept responsibility for a cause or for a
people. They begin to see their role in community
development by providing practicable solutions to
everyday problems, where they are with what they have.
Categories of projects commonly undertaken by
teenagers include: Advocacy, Trainings, Relief Projects,
Community Development. Some of these projects are :

This year, the core of our ?nancial spend was geared towards feeding and
program training supplies and logistics. This was to ensure that we
provided a conducive environment for participants and volunteers to
function and achieve developmental goals. The commitment of partners
and sponsors to support the 2015 C.I.T.Y Summer Program ensured the

The hands of volunteers are hands that change the world
and we’ve got the best of them all. We are very grateful for every
second spent with our amazing volunteers. They have been a huge
part of our success over the years and we are indeed
thankful for their support and commitment.

29. As we move into our sixth year of C.I.T.Y
program, we will keep striving to deepen
the impact of the C.I.T.Y experience for
both our participants ,volunteers and
partners.
In 2016, we will continue to increase the
capacity of our volunteers, by numbers
and by knowledge. As our volunteer
relations has become diverse in terms of
geography, we aim to provide more
virtual opportunities for people to remain
engaged in C.I.T.Y. activities in spite of
location. Also we aim to strengthen our
local base and develop initiatives to cater
for out of town volunteers where they
may occur.
The next C.I.T.Y Summer program is set to
attempt a record breaking feat in one or
more of its activities. Another goal for the
summer program is to increase our reach
and serve more teenagers than we have
ever done before. We are set to hold
multiple summer camps across regions in
Nigeria and engage volunteers beyond
the borders of Nigeria. Hence, our camp
model for 2016 will include one residential
camp in the western part of Nigeria and
multiple non-residential programs in
other parts of the country.
The continuous success of the C.I.T.Y
summer program emphasize the
importance of such programs in Nigeria.
As such, C.I.T.Y will be embarking on other
impactful programs that will run through
the course of the year. This will help us
cater to the growing base of participants
and ensure a wider and effective reach
with valuable impact. These programs
include:
C.I.T.Y Fellows: This is a fellowship
program for National Youth Service Corp
(NYSC) members. It is designed to run
concurrently with the NYSC program. The
selected fellows would be trained on
C.I.T.Y’s curriculum and attached to a
secondary school as their primary place of
assignment during which they would
57
execute trainings based on C.I.T.Y’s
curriculum at their designated schools.
Beyond delivering C.I.T.Y trainings at
schools, the corp members will be trained
by HOPE and other partnering
organizations for his or her own personal
development and to aid their workforce
readiness. They will also be eligible for
short internship programs during the
school break, with corporate
organizations where they can take up
challenging roles and build up their
employability.
C.I.T.Y Weekend Bootcamp: This features
intensive weekend programs for
secondary students to train them on
CITY’s curriculum. The weekend programs
will be based on one of C.I.T.Y.’s thematic
areas at a time. The thematic areas are:
Leadership, Educational excellence,
Innovation, Creativity and
Entrepreneurship, National development
Consciousness and Personal Mastery and
Transformation
C.I.T.Y.Homes: This program that is
primarily focused on youth correctional
facilities and orphanages and is aimed at
the development of the mental and
spiritual well being of this demographic.
This involves hosting educational
programs, seminars and faith based
conferences to encourage and empower
them.
Coupled with this, we also intend to
develop online training programs
accessible to volunteers and participants
via the CITY website. This will facilitate
continuous learning and development
beyond a scheduled program and
increase our interactions with volunteers
and participants
With these programs, we can ensure a
wider reach and a more intensive impact
on the leaders of tomorrow.
