The American Express Leadership Academy is seeking to train potential leaders in the non-profit space. 

The programme, which has both online and in-person session in London, UK, between July 9 and 12, 2024, seeks to build “resilient changemakers”.

“The programme is designed to support a new generation of resilient changemakers across Europe, Ghana, Kenya, the Middle East, Nigeria, North Africa, South Africa and the UK,” Mohan said.

The managing director said the academy partnered with Common Purpose in 2010 to achieve the aforementioned goals.
