We now accredit Association of Colleges Sport's Student Leadership Programme. 430 college students across the UK are learning to lead through sport. They create their own projects, run events, and help more students get active. Students complete a workbook to show their progress, which gives them a record of their skills and achievements to share with future employers. Our Director of Innovation and Standards, Lucy Supperstone, said: "‘We are thrilled to be working with Association of Colleges to accredit their Student Leadership Programme. Students will now be recognised with an accredited award that acknowledges their endeavours through the programme, including the development of their leadership skills."

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO! Since 2018, our drive to build, connect, and impact the next generation of young leaders in Zambia and across the region, has been driven from a heart of collective effort, sacrifice and a driven desire to see youth develop. Since 2020, we have been hosting the BeRelevant Youth Summit, and out of this convening, we have provided a solution-driven space for dialogue, networking and engagement to over 1000+ young people. Through our Leadership Academy, we have so far trained 600 young people in solution-driven leadership, this is without speaking of our Teens Leadership program that has empowered 100+ teens with skills for the 21st century. All this has been done not because we have a pull of sufficient funding, but because we have a heart to see a new generation of leaders emerge from the heartbeat of Zambia, ready for impact within their nation and beyond.

Developing free, equitable, and quality leadership educational programs for secondary and post-secondary youth across Africa. Leadership skills are not reserved for a select few. It’s a fundamental capacity needed by all. At TYIL, we are taking bold steps to curb the uneven access of young people to Leadership education through our free, equitable, and quality leadership educational programs for secondary and post-secondary youth across Africa. We understand that for students to truly thrive, they need more than just a classroom experience. Hence, our programs are tailored to Mentor, support, and provide students with opportunities to practice leadership in real-world contexts.

AYAC is pleased to launch our youth leadership report: Councils, committees, and YAGs (oh my!): On formal youth leadership. The report was structured around three research questions:  1. What is youth leadership?  2. What ‘works’ in youth leadership?  3. How might we best meet future youth leadership needs? For this report, we primarily focused on formal youth leadership – think student representative councils, youth advisory groups, youth parliaments, and the like. A review of research literature, an online youth survey, and consultation with young people helped to inform the report's findings. Click the link to download the full report: https://lnkd.in/eiv5mjVG
