Enquire NowAt Youth Leadership Academy Australia (YLAA), we believe primary school is where leadership begins—not years from now, but today. That’s why our programs are purposefully designed to help Year 5 and Year 6 students discover their potential, build confidence, and develop essential leadership skills for school and life.Whether it’s leading a team project or supporting a peer, young leaders thrive when given the tools to succeed.
No cookie-cutter sessions here. We tailor every program to align with your school's leadership framework, student cohort, and community goals.
YLAA is proudly youth-led. Our facilitators understand today’s students and what motivates them, because we’ve walked the same path.
Grounded in positive psychology and pedagogy, our programs focus on resilience, communication, collaboration and emotional intelligence, key skills backed by research and lived experience.
This workshop provides primary school students with the opportunity to explore and discover their role as leaders in society, through an experiential, learner-centred approach.
This one-day workshop enhances student leadership groups’ capacity for developing and implementing positive tools for change in their schools and communities.
Our programs are built on YLAA’s 4 E's Theory of Change, a powerful framework designed for long-term student leadership development:
1. Experience
We start with hands-on, interactive challenges that help students explore leadership through action.
2. Empower
Students reflect on what they’ve learned and begin to connect their personal strengths to real-world leadership.
3. Equip
We provide practical tools and strategies students can use immediately in their schools and leadership teams.
4. Educate
Each concept is linked back to research and real-life applications, ensuring every student understands the ‘why’ behind their learning.

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.
