SayPro: Identifying and Nurturing Talent for Publications and Leadership Pathways
At SayPro Development Royalty (SCDR), one of our core commitments is to discover, develop, and elevate emerging talent—individuals who possess the voice, vision, and values needed to shape the future of leadership and storytelling within SayPro and beyond. Through strategic platforms such as the SayPro Monthly June SCDR-3 and the SayPro Quarterly Writing and Journalism Competitions, SayPro builds a pipeline of talent for its publications, media projects, and long-term leadership programs.
These initiatives are not only about skill-building—they are deliberate mechanisms for talent scouting, capacity development, and leadership incubation.
1. SayPro Monthly June SCDR-3: A Discovery Platform for Emerging Communicators and Future Leaders
The SayPro Monthly June SCDR-3 program is designed as a talent discovery and development platform within the SayPro ecosystem. Conducted annually in June under SayPro Development Royalty, this program immerses participants in intensive learning and performance-based activities that reveal strengths in communication, leadership, and innovation.
Identifying Talent through Immersive Engagement:

- Promising individuals are recommended for inclusion in advanced leadership cohorts, youth advisory boards, and SayPro advocacy teams.
2. SayPro Quarterly Writing and Journalism Competitions: A Launchpad for Storytellers and Thought Leaders
Organized by the SayPro Development Competitions Office, the Quarterly Writing and Journalism Competitions serve as a key avenue for scouting journalistic and narrative talent.
