Mastercard Foundation Alumni Network

The Mastercard Foundation Alumni Network is a youth-led network that connects alumni of Mastercard Foundation partner programs to a global community, events, leadership opportunities and peer support. It supports alumni career journeys by linking members to engagement and employment opportunities and enabling alumni to contribute to program design and implementation. The Network is organised into country and regional chapters and seeks to build sustainable alumni hubs across Africa and beyond. Leadership committees operate in national chapters to run local activities and represent alumni.

Access to a global alumni community, virtual and global alumni events, leadership opportunities, networking and links to engagement and employment opportunities.

Open to young people who are current participants or alumni of Mastercard Foundation partner programs and leadership networks (including Young African Leadership Initiative, Ashoka, Anzisha, Zambezi, Youth Think Tank, Skoll, Scholars Program). Applicants for chapter Network Committees must reside in their chapter’s country and be current alumni or have completed their program by the committee start date (April 2023).
