Our programmes
Youth Leadership
At Active Skills, young people do not wait to become leaders one day. They plan, organise, fundraise and serve now, with mentors beside them.
About the programme
Leadership is learned by Leading
Our community is run by its students. Young people take on real roles in communications and marketing, project coordination, peer tutoring, administration, quality and publishing. They are trained and coached by the Active Skills team and our parent advisory board.
The programme follows the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach: every young person already holds talents, relationships and experiences that can be discovered and put to work. Starting from what is strong, they learn what leadership really asks: listening, deciding, taking responsibility and lifting others up.
