Youth as Leaders
Our youth face immense challenges—emotional upheavals, self-judgment, academic pressures, and digital distractions, questioning their paths and education's value. Since 2012, the Young Leaders Program (YLP) has empowered teens and youth to become aware, creative, and lifelong learners. Through volunteer-led learning communities, experienced facilitators guide youth to understand themselves, work harmoniously with others, identify the right type of work, plan, set goals, and lead their futures with awareness and integrity.

Who are our FDs?
Our FDs, or Facilitator Developers, anchor our programs as key contributors and partners who volunteer their time and expertise to nurture safe and non-hierarchical community learning spaces. YLP FDs are exemplary individuals who have previously participated in our programs and are driven to mentor budding young leaders with immense care. They have rich leadership experiences to draw from and a desire to give back to their communities.
How do they catalyse leadership development?
The facilitator developers are the pillars of our programs, providing youth with the support of a friendly guide by the side. They enable youth to deepen their self-awareness, learn to work with others and create and execute action plans for their goals. They also create leadership opportunities, enable connections with mentors and provide a safe space for the youth to learn and grow together.
