Civic Concepts International (CCI) is a social enterprise promoting global citizenship by partnering with youth organizations and educators to provide high-potential youth with tools and resources that will build leadership skills, promote cross-cultural understanding, and cultivate ethical responsibility.


The mission of the International Youth Leadership Conference (IYLC) is to facilitate a cross-cultural exchange of ideas on the future of world leadership.


Our goal is to facilitate dialogue and cooperation across an ethnically diverse and socially responsible group of young international leaders. The Conference is designed to encourage social interaction and networking in a cross-cultural learning environment.


The mission of the International Youth Leadership Conference Africa (IYLC Africa) is to facilitate a week long forum to bring together like minded young leaders from all over Africa and the world to discuss the future of African leadership, institutions and structures.


International Youth Leadership Network (IYLN) is a world-wide initiative, designed to connect young leaders to existing leadership opportunities and resources. The IYLN brings together young people interested in unique capacity building programs that strengthen their leadership potential, as well as professionals interested in mentoring these future world leaders.

Our goal at Civic Concepts International is to enable motivated and ambitious young leaders to jump out of the classroom and into the world. We provide the tools for youth to participate in society and feel a broader connection to their world; because once they are connected they are also involved. And once they are involved they can make positive changes in their communities because they are informed, inspired, determined, and responsible. By facilitating a cross-cultural exchange of ideas and fostering international relationships, we learn from each other and with each other. We acknowledge that these practices are the key to a peace-filled future. We will continue to teach young international leaders to practice tolerance and coexistence early on by exposing them to people and places they would not otherwise encounter.

If young people can learn cultural sensitivity early on, while being informed about pertinent global issues, then they are likely to practice these principles in their future actions and activities. Civic Concepts International is an innovation in education that bridges knowledge and experience in order to facilitate unrestricted learning.
