Al Hussein Fellowship Program (HFP) was launched in 2020 to cultivate a mindset of service-based leadership among youth in Jordan and establish a national network of young leaders who are actively engaged in politics, economics and social development.
HFP is the flagship of the Crown Prince Foundation’s (CPF) leadership programs, guiding youth to develop their capabilities, discipline, and strategic foresight. HFP fosters a sense of connectedness and accountability and encourages a growth mindset to create a rooted yet progressive nucleus of change.
HFP annually selects talented youths from across Jordan through a competitive and rigorous process. An intensive year of experiential learning helps the youths expand their social intelligence and gain understanding of relational needs and collective work. The youths undergo international certification tracks to gain advanced leadership competencies, while hands-on experiences such as internships, networking, and team building exercises help them acquire professional abilities. The youths expand their knowledge through one-to-one mentorships with key figures, learning from those who are successful in their personal endeavors and have contributed to Jordan’s growth and development whether through work, government or civil service. HFP encourages the youths to tackle national challenges by putting them in the shoes of decision-makers through a simulation process which guides them to explore and research key topics and critical issues to understand root causes and navigate solutions.
HFP strives to bridge the gap between Jordan’s cities and the outskirts, between one generation of thinkers and the next, linking local community development to the larger Jordanian context and the globe. HFP is focused on the “serve to lead” concept and is designed to create experiences that address prevalent limitations in youth’s thinking and practices, break the cycle of personal challenges, and instill the values of the service-based leader profile which include respect, inclusivity, empathy, courage, integrity and loyalty. In this way, the Program seeks to create active citizens who are impactful agents of progress.
Al Hussein Fellowship Graduate Network (HFGN) emerged from HFP as the primary Fellows’ platform for engaging graduates beyond their program experience. HFGN fosters collaboration among graduates, creating a community that thrives on shared vision, successes, and collective impact. Being part of the Network is not guaranteed by graduation alone; members are expected to consistently work toward the HFP’s goals, embodying a service mindset and leadership principles for personal growth while making sustained, impactful contributions to their communities and the nation. Al Hussein Fellowship Program marks the beginning of these youths’ journey toward realizing their leadership roles, while the Graduate Network offers a pathway for their continued growth, service, and impact.

The School Leadership Program (SLP) aims to instill the foundations of proactive citizenship and nationalism among adolescents through leadership and community service opportunities.
The School Leadership Program is purposely designed to target early teenagers in order to foster a sense of community, citizenship and service at an early age. SLP activities are tailored to guide youth on a journey of self-exploration and character building. Workshops and community service opportunities help to develop the adolescents’ teamwork abilities and leadership skills while encouraging the spirit of volunteering. Linking the Program’s activities to social development and volunteer platforms across the nation allows SLP to instill a sense of belonging among the youth, creating within them an awareness of being a part of a larger community and an understanding of their role and responsibility within society.
SLP is structured into three distinct phases:
1. Sprouts: Open to all students, this first phase of SLP conducts workshops and training camps to help youth develop self-awareness and to introduce them to the concepts of citizenship and community service.
2. Knights: The second phase of SLP is open to students who excelled as Sprouts and conducts organized volunteer work as well as more specialized workshops and training that include emotional intelligence, career guidance, civic engagement, advanced communication skills, and more.
3. Councils: This final stage of SLP promotes knowledge of the democratic process and collective action. Members of each of the twelve youth councils – one in each governorate of Jordan – are elected annually by the Knights to run the councils and are mandated to create an action plan related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) during their term. Through the Councils, youth relate the needs of their local communities to wider global causes and learn how to mobilize thousands of their peers. The multiple councils form an interconnected network of influence and support across the Kingdom.
Launched in 2013 by the Crown Prince Foundation (CPF), SLP targets students in grades 8 – 11 in public schools across the Kingdom and is implemented by the Ministry of Education and co-managed with CPF.
The School Leadership Program works to instill the values of positive citizenship, such as open mindedness, self-confidence, integrity, transparency, commitment, determination, responsibility, focus and learning from experience.
SLP encompasses the youngest ages of all the youth that CPF works with and is most often youth’s first exposure to the Crown Prince Foundation. SLP is the first step towards achieving CPF’s goal of building a generation of proactive citizens, who have a sense of responsibility and loyalty to Jordan, capable to act proactively to enhance their local communities.

The Makerspace aims to empower the local makers movement in Jordan by offering an open-source innovation space, where fabricators, artists, engineers and designers can come together to transform any idea into reality. Launched by the Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) in 2018, the Makerspace is CPF’s flagship innovation platform and seeks to ignite the spirit of creative pioneering in the Kingdom and create a generation of visionaries by encouraging the hands-on exploration that leads to the development of new inventions and the improvement of existing ones.

The Makerspace aims to make innovation accessible to all segments of Jordanian society and features a public, community-based, digital fabrication laboratory (FabLab) that is fully equipped with state-of-the-art tools and machines with a wide range of applications. The FabLab is accredited by Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Fab Foundation and is a place where anyone can make (almost) anything using design, 3D printers, laser cutting and other advanced technology.

The Makerspace is part of the FabLab Network, an open community of fabricators, innovators, educators, students, and professionals, reaching 1,500 fabrication labs across 90 countries, making the Makerspace a major building block for the innovation sector in Jordan.
Building off the global trend of ‘do-it-yourself’ projects that evolve into products that can be monetized, the Makerspace supports the concept of production and self-sufficiency, over purchasing and consumption. It supports young creators through the entire production process, from ideas and design to development and commercialization, enabling them to plan, engineer, and manufacture their creations. As a platform, the Makerspace is centered around the makers community and encourages the movement through providing consultancy to other makerspaces as well as offering national platforms, such as the Maker Collective, to showcase local innovations. These national platforms add value to the community, providing global exposure and important connections to other international organizations and makerspaces. The Makerspace channels global innovations and adapts it to the framework of Jordan’s needs, bringing in global concepts to support Jordanian industries, and boost local productivity.
The Makerspace plays an essential role in supporting digitization literacy across the Kingdom by integrating the latest technologies into various sectors and industries, and by supporting the adoption of advanced manufacturing concepts to support entrepreneurs, small enterprises and local communities. The Makerspace facilities are open to the public with free expert advice and support, along with other services tailored for students, entrepreneurs, companies, and organizations.

Nahno is a national youth engagement and volunteering platform that consolidates and streamlines volunteer work in Jordan.
Nahno brings together the efforts of the public and private sectors and civil society to provide the largest number of volunteering opportunities, across multiple fields and disciplines. The Platform promotes volunteer work and civic responsibility by connecting volunteers with opportunities, enabling them to engage meaningfully in areas aligned with their own interests. Through its online presence, Nahno reaches youth across the Kingdom, involving them in the development of their respective communities and planting in them the seeds of civil service, social responsibility and collective action.
However, Nahno’s role extends far beyond connecting volunteers with opportunities. Nahno brings together key players to build a thriving and safe environment for the volunteers, defined by a code of conduct and clear, publicized principles that clarify the rights and responsibilities of all involved. Nahno documents all volunteer participation, accredits volunteer hours, and retains a social impact profile for each volunteer. The Platform’s organization and records encourage volunteer participation and ensure transparency and accountability. Furthermore, Nahno enhances volunteer integration into activities, provides a clear map of the most important contributions to be made, and relates volunteer efforts and opportunities directly to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This helps to focus volunteer work in the areas that have the greatest impact and demonstrate the most significant and sustainable results.
Benefits: Consistent volunteering practice develops experiential learning and instills critical professional skills including communication, time-management, project management, problem-solving, leadership and more. Records of volunteer hours, initiatives and accomplishments enable youth to see the positive impact of their actions and connect them directly to the improvement of their environments. These experiences enrich youth’s exposure and increase their access to opportunities. Through Nahno, the Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) aims to grow the spirit of belonging, cooperation and social responsibility among youth, as well as a recognition of the impact and importance of collective work.
The Al Hussein bin Abdullah II Award for Voluntary Service is a national award given to recognize outstanding volunteers in Jordan. Participants in Nahno are eligible for the Award which annually honors individuals and entities who contribute to sustainable social development and foster a culture of cooperation, volunteerism and accountability in Jordan. The Award highlights the inspiring initiatives of volunteers and expresses appreciation for their efforts in serving the community and country. It promotes systemic volunteer work and the values of collaboration and unity. Most importantly, this annual national award builds a spirit of social responsibility and encourages members of the community to be active in volunteer work.
Nahno was launched in 2019 by CPF in partnership with United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and in cooperation with the Ministry of Youth. The Platform is open to youth of all ages in Jordan and seeks those who demonstrate a genuine interest in volunteer work, commitment, and a dedication to societal and national responsibility.
