Young Leaders Programme

The Young Leaders Programme has been providing young people with the opportunities to learn new skills and actively take part in volunteering in the community and beyond. Our aim is to develop the personal and social growth of young people through experiential learning so that they can become Young leaders in every aspect of their lives. Our programme offers a wide range of short courses and volunteer opportunities.

It has been positively commented on by Ofsted and has received good reviews from Lewisham Youth service.

"They demonstrated tolerance, respect and understanding for others and grew considerably in confidence and self-awareness. Many felt able to consider future education and career options well beyond their previous aspirations as a result of their involvement in the project and through their knowledge of what previous participants in the programme had achieved".
(Lewisham Ofsted Inspection report September/October 2001)
