U Team SL (United Team Sierra Leone)

U Team SL also known as United Team Sierra Leone was founded in 2014 and initially registered as a Community-Based Organization under the name United Team of Pujehun District (UN Team Pujehun). The organization due to its hard work and dedication to service delivery gained formal national recognition on January 1, 2018 which has expanded its vision and mandate. Between March 8th – 10th 2024, the organization hosted its first conference at the Galliness Paradise Hotel, Bo City. The event was attended by many young people and membership across the country. In cognizance of the vital stakeholder leadership role the organization is playing geared towards the collective development of Sierra Leone, the organization has gained both local and international recognition. In line with its mission to strengthen and support youth-led initiatives for national development, the organization has undertaken a public outreach effort to assess its impact and progress over the years. Knowing the need to expand beyond its initial focus on Pujehun District, the general membership unanimously agreed to broaden the organization’s mandate and scope to both national and international levels. Recognizing the pivotal role and responsibility of young Sierra Leonean citizens, geared toward national development, the secretariat has consented to formalize the operations of the organization at national and international levels. Against this background therefore, the general membership of the UN Team Pujehun 2 unanimously agreed to changed its name from “United Team of Pujehun District”, abbreviated as (UN Team Pujehun) to “U Team SL”, represented as (Universal Team Sierra Leone). This change reflects the organization’s effort and commitment to fostering volunteerism, mentorship, peace, unity, development, and progress across Sierra Leone and beyond. The membership of the U Team SL shall take full control, authority and power over the smooth running of the organization. The signatories of the founding members shall be the principal signatories in every correspondence, followed by that of the registered and appointed members.
