Opportunities
Teachers often appreciate the way students demonstrate leadership in very varied settings: it’s not just prefects or club captains. An insightful teacher can unlock the potential of such young people but might not always have the capacity to take them on further. The Youth of Today wants to capture that potential and give opportunities to the kinds of young people who can get overlooked.
We have created a number of experiences that you can send your students on. They will be free for you and the student. From Shadowing a government minister to a year long Fellowship programme, the aim is the same: young people identify their own potential and motivation to take the bold step of leading others.
