The African Queer Youth Initiative membership comprises young leaders from diverse African backgrounds. Drawing upon our extensive experience, diverse skill sets, and knowledge, we actively promote the mission and vision of AQYI. We form a dedicated team as youth leaders, professionals, grassroots activists, artists, and, above all, human beings deeply committed to human rights.

Our membership is composed of a volunteer network of youths hailing from various African countries, including Benin, Botswana, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Egypt, Kenya, Liberia, Morocco, Nigeria, the Republic of Mauritius, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Namibia, Tanzania, Madagascar, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Zambia, Mali, South Africa, Rwanda, Ghana, and Zimbabwe.

The African Queer Youth Initiative welcomes individuals from diverse African backgrounds to become members. We are on a mission to unite young leaders, activists, and professionals in the fight for LGBTQI+ rights. While we’re proud of our growing community, we recognise that some African nations are still underrepresented. To bridge this gap, we are opening up ten (10) additional spots for members from these countries: Angola, Algeria, Eritrea, Gabon, Mozambique, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Seychelles, Tunisia, and Zambia.

If you’re passionate about LGBTQI+ rights and want to be part of our vibrant network, we invite you to apply here.

By becoming a member, you will contribute to advancing LGBTQI+ rights and make a meaningful impact in your community.
