About the Summit

The National Volunteer Summit 2026 is a flagship national youth development and volunteerism initiative organized by the African Youth Network (AYN), Sierra Leone. It will take place on December 4–5, 2026 at the Miatta Civic Centre, Freetown.

The Summit is expected to attract thousands of applications from young people across all districts of Sierra Leone. Due to venue capacity and the need for meaningful engagement, approximately 500 delegates will be selected through a fair, merit-based selection process that considers motivation, experience, and regional, gender and disability inclusion.

Everyone follows the same registration process and pays the same mandatory, non-refundable registration fee of NLe 75. Paying the fee does not guarantee selection.

The fee is non-refundable, and paying it does not guarantee selection — approximately 500 delegates will be chosen based on the strength of their applications.
