Youth 1st are organising a number of Young Leaders courses during July. The Young Leader Award is a programme of leadership training for young people between the ages of 10 and 14 that supports them working with younger children, teaching leadership skills through a whole range of games and activities.
The award responds to the individual needs of each organisation and its young leaders through a flexible, differentiated programme. It focuses on specific skills such as instruction giving, organisation of people and equipment and the use of space. Rather than breaking leadership down into its constituent parts, the Award teaches these topics through a practical, activity based, holistic approach. In this way Young Leaders ‘learn by doing’ and by the end of the course will not only have the confidence and ability to lead others, but also have knowledge and experience of an extensive range of games and activities.
