Why This Matters Now
This is bigger than books.
In 2018, Dear Young Professional started as a casual Instagram post. Today, it has grown into a book, a movement, and a thriving community across 7+ countries.
Now, to mark the book’s 5th anniversary, we’re launching DYP Project 5,000 — a nationwide campaign to place 5,000 copies of the book directly in the hands of final-year student leaders across Nigerian universities.
Why student leaders? Because they are multipliers. They influence their peers today, and tomorrow they’ll shape workplaces, teams, and industries.
When you sponsor a book, you’re not giving charity. You’re planting a seed of leadership, excellence, and purpose in Nigeria’s future workforce.
How Your Investment Works
Campus Tours. Real Impact. Documented Results.
Your sponsorship powers more than book distribution. Through DYP Campus Tours 2025, we’ll visit universities during final-year events, leadership programs, and career fairs nationwide.
At each stop, we’ll:
- Deliver an inspiring keynote on career excellence
- Present Dear Young Professional to selected campus leaders
- Capture and share the impact stories with you
- Build lasting connections between leaders and the DYP community
You won’t just sponsor books—you’ll witness your investment transform lives in real-time through exclusive updates and behind-the-scenes content.
