What's New At WYLA?
We have a lot to be grateful for, to be excited about, and proud of where our Young Leaders are concerned here at WYLA! Below are some key highlights of the experiences our boys and girls have had, and the awards that WYLA has been nominated for as well as won!
We cannot do what we do without the support from you - SO WE THANK YOU!
Sat 15th July 2023 End of Year Celebration & Fundraiser!
THANKS FOR YOUR LOVE & SUPPORT!
Our End of Year Celebration & YLA Fundraiser was a special occasion, and enjoyed by all!
We had drill demonstrations, performances from our Young Leaders & Mentors, stall holders, special guests in attendance, raffle prize draws, our Young Leaders Award Ceremony, and to top it off, a fantastic performance by Afrobeats Artist, Multiple Award Winner, Co-Founder of SONA (School of New Africa) & Community Support, Fuse ODG!
Gambia Fundraiser: This is an opportunity of a lifetime for our Young Leaders to connect with a deeper knowledge and pride of Self, gain and exchange knowledge and skills with the local youth in The Gambia, and support community initiatives.
Please continue to donate whatever you can so we can meet/exceed our target - our mission is BIG, but we know with the community's continued love and support, we can and we will achieve it!

WYLA Awards & Recognition
We are blessed with the most amazing parents and children, and do everything that we can to serve our community. Although we do not do this for praise, it is humbling and a beautiful thing that the Community can see what we want to achieve, recognises our mission and celebrates this with us and for us.
For this, we are forever grateful, and we want to thank every single person and organisation that has nominated us for an award and for voting that we should receive an award.

Our Parents Are Simply The Best!
"We've noticed that since attending WYLA, our children are much more helpful and respectful."
Proud Parent
"I have seen a big difference in my children since they have been attending WYLA. I do not have to wake them up on a Saturday morning, which is a big thing for us and they’re always stressing about getting there on time. They wish that they could go to WYLA everyday!"
Proud Parent
"We love WYLA and how it has helped our children to blossom!"
