Blackboard Africa is a registered Non-profit Company (NPC), based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Blackboard was founded  to bridge the leadership gap amongst young people between ages 13 and 25 and prepare youth to address Africa’s problems. This was validated after a needs-assessment carried out determined this need was not being met.

The organization was founded in 2017 and was the brainchild of youth activist Amonge Sinxoto.
