Are Youth leadership development programmes effective?

Hi beautiful people!

 

Oh my, the countdown has really begun…ooh, the excitement!


While we are busy packing, making arrangements for while we are gone, I’d like us to think about (yeah, what’s new?) the effectiveness of youth leadership development. I know that most of us have already been involved in programmes and also by virtue of being selected to be part of the Guildford forum, you’re learning some leadership skills. So, what I’d like to know is how effective do you think these programmes are? How has it helped you as an individual, as a team leader and how have you seen help other people around you. While you’re at that let’s get suggestions of how to make the programmes more effective long term wise, so that it’s just not a conference or camp you attend for a week and you go back home and you’re inspired and that’s the end of it.


I’d really like to get as much input on this as possible so that we can make even get them together and make suggestions to the BC to make sure that all this passion and energy is captured and used productively long term. So, let’s get talking shall we?!


PS: reading the blogs and the comments is such an inspiration – I literally get so excited I don’t know what to do…anyway… see you soon.
