Creating Young Leaders
Over 8 – 12 weeks, our Young Leaders Programme supports young people aged 10 – 25 to explore the brain, body, thoughts and behaviours whilst also developing their digital, creative and media skills.
Backed by science, designed by our expert team in collaboration with young people and delivered through play-based interactive teaching methods, the programme supports young people to learn about themselves whilst giving them the confidence to support their peers.
WE WORK WITH THESE AMAZING ORGANISATIONS…

“It teaches you about how to be more considerate about others.“
