Purpose

Passion

Practice

As a challenge leader, you will have the opportunity to clarify your purpose, build on your passion and put your leadership skills into practice.

As a Challenge Leader, your responsibilities will include raising awareness of the program, building a team of likeminded students to join you, supporting and managing your team before and during their time overseas, and leading impactful community development activities.

The benefits of taking on this role are endless, but to name a few…

You’ll develop essential skills that will be valuable for your future and boost your employability in an ever-changing job market.

“As a leader of a team, I found that I was forced to “put myself out there” a lot more than what I would do back home. For example, approaching team members individually and asking for feedback on my own performance. Normally I would shy away from these sorts of interactions. As a natural introvert this experience was awesome for my personal development.”

Challenge Leader, Tristan=n

You’ll get great support and leadership development from our team! You’ll be assigned a mentor who will provide guidance and training throughout your leadership journey.

You’ll make a real difference in the local community as you use both yours and your teams’ strengths to contribute towards long-term development projects.

You’ll form lifelong friendships and have the most amazing travel experience while participating in an overseas program with these new friends!

“When I look back, I think ‘WOW’! I learned so much about myself. I think it was really cool to have brought together 6 different people who used their skills, knowledge and personalities to create a special experience for the local community and ourselves.”

Challenge Leader, Hayley

You’ll get to connect with our other leaders across Australia and become part of our global community of people who care, inspiring each other to create positive change around the world!

You’ll have the opportunity to travel on one of our programs for free as you receive a Challenge Leader incentive per person who joins your team.
