This Youth Leadership Program strives to give the best to our future impact leaders and what could better than learning leadership skills from successful industry leaders. Our team selects these leaders given they are not only successful in their respective areas but have also demonstrated giving back to the community. They have particularly leveraged their strengths to make this positive impact even at a greater scale. Our Leadership Sessions involved topics revolving around key leadership skills such as Trust, Accountability, Empathy and Motivation. Each of these leaders picked a topic and explained why this skill is important for any leader and how this skill helped them personally. Each leader gives parting advice for these future leaders that we believe will help them shape into strong impact driven leaders driving positive change in the communities.
