Young Leaders Letter (2)

Young Leaders

Archbishop of York Youth Trust Leadership Award Scheme.

The Young Leaders Award aims to equip young people to ‘be the change they want to see’ in all of their communities. Through a number of interactive lessons and practical challenges pupils will be involved in serving and making a difference in lots of different ways.

Last year the children led some wonderful school and community projects, from helping to clean and tidy Huby Playpark to hosting a fabulous fun afternoon of parents versus children rounder’s match followed by afternoon tea, all to raise funds for the Stroke Association.

This year we will be running the Young Leaders Award again and we can’t wait.

What are the benefits from completing the award?

• Links to SEAL include development of personal and social awareness, self-esteem, setting a good example and confidence building.
• Teamwork and co-operation skills are developed, alongside year group cohesion.
• Opportunities to develop greater understanding of democracy and the needs of the world wide community.
• Practical experience of the vital work done by charities and how we all can help.
• The personal development of self-belief, resilience to ‘have a go’ as well as developing the knowledge we all can make a change for the better no matter how large or small that may be.
