Young Leaders Programme
SYLA has helped me a lot. Before I joined SYLA, I had no discipline and self-respect. When I started to attend, my confidence started to build up, my academics improved, and I am starting to make better decisions which have a positive effect on myself and my peers. – Year 10 Young Leader
Our Young Leaders Programme is delivered through our Saturday Academy which runs every week during term time from 9.30am – 1.30pm at Ark Walworth Academy. In addition, we run after school online mentoring sessions every Wednesday, and week-long Easter and summer holiday camps.
Our tailored leadership curriculum is designed to improve academic achievement, build character, and develop life skills. Lessons are taught by trained tutors, specialist facilitators, and real entrepreneurs, and our leadership mentors act as inspiring role-models for our boys. We also help to broaden our young leaders’ horizons through careers days, visits to universities, educational trips, and links with corporate firms.

How it all works
Our leadership curriculum is tailored to nurture each boy’s growth and progress over three stages of his journey as a young leader.
All three stages include academic tutoring, public speaking, and leadership through sport.
Stage 1 (ages 8 – 11)
Sets the foundations by building character and identity. Our young leaders develop self-worth, identify personal strengths, and build resilience.
Stage 2 (ages 11 – 13)
Introduces the concept of entrepreneurship. Young leaders participate in a practical business project and learn about financial planning and investing for the future.
Stage 3 (ages 13-16)
Develops the skills and mindset required to make positive life choices. Our young leaders are supported in self-regulation and guided to make informed decisions about their future education and career pathways.
