We aim to give young people leadership skills for life by:

Giving a voice to young people to share and lead solutions
Implementing our 'Leadership Framework' to ensure a pathway for leadership skills.

We are committed to developing the leadership of all young people, supporting them to reflect, articulate and transfer their skills and experience to other settings, such as employment.
