KAMP — the Kolade Adepoju Mentoring Program — is a non-profit organization dedicated to building, connecting, and inspiring transformative leaders across Africa and beyond.
KAMP was founded on a simple conviction: potential is everywhere, but guidance is not. Across Africa, brilliant young people carry big dreams — yet too many walk the journey alone, without someone ahead of them to say, "this is the way."
The Kolade Adepoju Mentoring Program exists to close that gap. Through structured mentorship, campus chapters like KAMP LAUTECH, and gatherings like THE NEW Conference, we create rooms where young leaders are seen, sharpened, and sent out to transform their communities — through mentorship conferences and community impact projects on Nigerian university campuses.
"You're not just volunteering; you're making impact, inspiring others, and helping shape lives in your own unique way."
Today, KAMP is a growing family of mentors, mentees, volunteers, and partners united by one mission: raising transformative leaders who positively influence their communities — with a bold goal of mentoring and training 10,000 youths annually. And we're just getting started.

"Our goal is to mentor and train 10,000 youths annually to become change agents in their communities."
Dr. Kolade Adepoju is a versatile entrepreneur with nearly two decades of experience. A Fellow of the Institute of Management Consultants (FIMC) and a Certified Management Consultant (CMC), he is the MD/CEO of Riel Homes, addressing housing challenges across Nigeria, Africa, and beyond — with numerous estates in Nigeria and upcoming developments in prestigious locations like Ikoyi, Lagos. He also founded ACOLEAD Communications, serving multinationals and top government agencies in brand management.
A West Africa Youth Ambassador and recipient of the Nelson Mandela Leadership Award for Excellence and Integrity, Kolade has been featured in over 100 media publications and shares his expertise on real estate, business, and leadership on major national and international TV platforms.
He holds a B.Tech in Management from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), studied Brand Management at the University of London, has completed professional courses at institutions like Lagos Business School, and received an Honorary Doctorate in Project Management from the Chartered Institute of Public Resource Management and Politics, Ghana.
His passion for mentoring led him to establish KAMP — the non-profit through which he pours that experience into the next generation. He is happily married to Damilola Adepoju, and they are blessed with two sons, David and Jason, and a daughter, Queen Esther.
We invest in character and capacity — developing whole leaders, not just skills.
We link generations: mentors to mentees, campuses to communities, Africa to the world.
We tell stories, host gatherings, and model excellence that awakens vision in others.
Our volunteers lead by serving — every effort counts toward lasting change.
We pursue the highest standard in everything, from mentorship pairing to event production.
No one grows alone. KAMP is a family before it is a program.
