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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

"The YLAA program was a fantastic engaging learning experiences for the young leaders of our school. The facilitators were great with our students and were able to get them to use higher order thinking when it comes to leadership and reflecting on their own leadership qualities. I would recommend this program to any school or any other aspiring young leaders."
Ben, Princes Hill Secondary College
"The YLAA Program was an excellent way to develop leadership skills among our SRC team. Our students learned the complexities of team work, as well as the resilience needed to cope to challenge in an ever evolving world. They were able to use these skills for future project planning at the school level and will be able to take these beyond the school gate. The presenters were highly engaging and fosters a sense of collaboration and motivation. Overall, I highly recommend this program."
Marissa, Northern Beaches Secondary College
"Being in a low SES area with a large comprehensive high school, our students often do not see the potential for their future. YLAA presented a fantastic program that our students thoroughly embraced, leaving them with the motivation to make and be the change for the future, not only for themselves but for their generation. With the presenters being young themselves, they were able to relate better with the students than the traditional teacher/student relationship. Our students loved the day and we have had positive feedback from our P&C about the program. We would love to have this program as a regular annual event for our school leaders (both present and future). Thanks so much!"
Karen, Gorokan High School
"The energy and enthusiasm of the YLAA Facilitators was impressive, as was their ability to connect with a room full of teenage boys! It was great to see them inspire our students to be leaders in their own way by making simple but important everyday decisions."
Rukevwe, Newington College
“YLAA created an engaging, bespoke program for our student leaders that was tailored to our unique context. I was impressed how they were able to build rapport with students so quickly and get them working collaboratively together. The program set our leaders up for their roles and projects for next year and gave them confidence to work together as a team.”
Darren, Templestowe College
“The two-day YLAA program was highly engaging and interactive, providing our young people with essential skills to become leaders in their communities. YLAA was able to tailor the program to our needs, ensuring it aligned with our future direction and strategic focus for the group. Participants left feeling more confident, empowered and excited to make change in the community.”
