About Ayo Adeleke Fellowship
LATE Mrs. Ayo Adeleke is the pioneer Deputy National Coordinator of the DIGITEST program. She played a motherly role during her years of involvement in DIGITEST and encouraged young people to harness their potentials.
The Ayo Adeleke fellowship is a fellowship that seeks to empower young school leavers with relevant skills in planning, leading and organizing as they work for six months at the Digital Peers International office in Abuja to help plan and organize DIGITEST, the largest IT based creative camp and competition for young people in Africa.
Every year, through a competitive application process in February, Digital Peers International will select two Fellows (male and female) who would work a minimum of 35 hours a week in the DPI office to help plan the DIGITEST camp. The Fellows amongst other things will:
- Help in logistics planning for DIGITEST
- Attend meetings with partners, sponsor and potential partners
- Help to manage DPI’s social media platforms
- Develop the social content for the DIGITEST camp
- Contribute to the development of the annual DIGITEST magazine
- Help to market DIGITEST to schools
- The fellows will also be actively involved as volunteers during the duration of the camp which usually lasts for 12 days during summer.
- The fellows will be mandated to keep an online blog that tracks their daily involvement in planning DIGITEST
