Becoming a Global Leader

Becoming a Global Leader

Be the change you want to see in the world.

We believe in the power of young people, which is why we’re dedicated to helping create the next generation of global leaders. By becoming a challenge leader, you’ll be at the forefront of the global movement to end inequality and inspiring others to join you. 

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

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

“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
