EMPOWERING YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGH ACTIVE LEADERSHIP
Why should we teach Young People to be LEADERS?
Being a good leader is a valuable skill no matter what age you are!! Not everyone is born with leadership qualities, however, when it comes down to it, leadership is part of everyone –and yes, our kids can be leaders too. So, with that said, it is our responsibility, as parents & educators, to teach kids early on how to develop the skills needed to be good leaders! We need to redefine leadership, so that it feels attainable to all.
Leadership skills will help kids build confidence and succeed in life, while giving them the opportunity to thrive in their everyday activities, like sports & group projects.
