It feels like the world is calling on us to rethink, reimagine & redefine our understanding & experiences of leadership.

In September 2022 LEAP crew, a group of Youth Inc students, set off on a journey to just that; with the intention of unearthing & nourishing a leadership ecosystem that supports a new generation of leaders to rise up and lead change.

Some of the questions we asked included:

What does leadership even mean?
Who are our most valued leaders?
What gifts do they share with the world?

We’d love you to join us and the continuing conversation at our first event!

Along with some amazing community facilitators we are hosting this event so together we can explore & express our insights & ideas on the type of leaders the world is calling forth right now.

Take part in a range of creative & play based explorations including collage, mirror making, creative writing, & gamified reflections that will help us

Imagine & illuminate the unsung leaders of our times
Acknowledge and celebrate the leaders in our lives and
Acknowledge and celebrate the leader within

We hope you can join us!

Meet the LEAP crew and our awesome guest facilitators who will be joining us on the day!
