Enabling Leadership launches global ambassador programme
The programme is open to high-school students who aspire to become future leaders who are capable of addressing complex issues, fostering creativity, and thriving in diverse environments.
Global non-profit organisation Enabling Leadership has launched an Enabling Leadership Global Ambassador Program with an aim to impart essential leadership and life skills to children from under-resourced backgrounds.
The youth leadership development initiative comprises a 10-month programme for high school students and focuses on service as a powerful medium to develop essential 21st-century leadership skills, involving mentoring, fundraising, and digital outreach activities, according to a statement from the organisation.
The programme is open to high-school students (grades 9-12) who aspire to become future leaders who are capable of addressing complex issues, fostering creativity, and thriving in diverse environments.
Participants can learn invaluable leadership skills, master frugal innovation, and enhance their college applications, said the statement. They will also have the opportunity to become LinkedIn Top Voices through its digital outreach efforts and earn recognition as certified ambassadors of Enabling Leadership.
Students also become part of a global network with a common purpose, establishing life-long connections for professional and personal growth. They will contribute 40 hours of service throughout the programme, which is divided into three main components: skill-based mentoring (20 hours), fundraising (10 hours), and digital outreach (10 hours).
The programme offers three verticals—football, LEGO, and music, and participants can choose based on their skills and interests. Each participant will mentor a group of 10 underserved students, helping them improve their skills and succeed in competitions. The first cohort will commence on August 5, 2024.
Ravi Sonnad, Founder and CEO, Enabling Leadership said, “Our mission is to empower youth to emerge as resilient leaders, instilling critical leadership skills through impactful service activities before they embark on their professional journeys.
"The program experience and service certificate offer a unique edge in college application essays, opening doors to prestigious universities. Participants will also build a global network of talented individuals dedicated to making a positive impact on the world.”
