The 1st Annual Community Teens Leadership Boot Camp was successfully held for two days in April 2025, at Gyeyiyna Community, Bwari Area Council, FCT Abuja. It held from the 14^th to 15^th of April, 2025. It hosted preteens and teens within the ages of 8 to 19. This year’s theme was tagged, “Rebranding” and this guided all lessons and activities carried out.
