YLAA in your school.

Here at YLAA, we believe wholeheartedly in taking care of the youngest members of our community. We love our primary school programs! These passion projects have been born from the understanding that the youngest members of society have a powerful, important message to share. We are inspired by the local and global voices of young people who consistently demonstrate the power of youth in leading social and environmental change.

Our primary school programs have been designed to nurture young minds into becoming powerful leaders in their own communities through experiential education. Our programs have been mindfully designed to focus on building confidence, resilience,

YLAA's Three E Approach

Educate.

Through real life examples, case studies and academic research, facilitators will create and build purpose behind each element of learning for students. We recognise that when a 'why' is attached to a skillset, students are much more likely to 'buy in' to the workshop and actively participate.

Equip.

Program facilitators will provide students with a variety of different techniques to become equipped with the skillset, and allow them to practice this through role play, activities, and collaboration.

Empower.

The final step of any skillset is empowering students to understand their responsibility and to step up as leaders and actively implement it into their own lives, their teams, schools and communities.

Principles of YLAA Programs

TAILOR MADE 
PROGRAM.

Your School, Your Program.

We know every single school has different objectives. This requires both a specialised program and a budget tailored to your needs. We have never run two identical programs!

PROGRAM FACILITATION.

Professionally trained facilitators.

All of our facilitators have had a minimum of four years experience within the Youth Leadership industry. This ensures your school and students receive a professional and impactful experience.

POST EVENT 
PROGRAM.

Sustaining Momentum.

We understand lasting change does not happen in one day, this is why we have created a three month post-event program to reinforce student's understanding and maximise future success.

Our Goal

We find that our youngest students are an ever-inspiring cohort who bring a sense of energy and inspiration that can dissolve over time as young people enter the stress and pressure of adulthood. We aim to nurture the inner child within every student and let them know that their voice matters, and that the impact that they can make on the world by being exactly who they are, is profound.
