The Junior Leader Program

The Junior Leader Program was conceived to answer a problem faced by the youth of today:  how to succeed in the fast, networked yet socially disconnected world of today.  

Success, to quote a Buddhist philosophy, is simply happiness.

 Part of the solution to help some of the youth of today find their measure of success/ happiness is through practical guidance lessons incorporated in the Junior Leader Program. In this program each student will be introduced to the principles of teaching others, resolving conflicts, communication skills, organizing and preparing lessons.

The program is based on 3 Objectives:

1. Leadership Development

To inspire the youth to enjoy the process of learning, to challenge themselves, and to lead others in the pursuit of excellence.

Key words: learning, teaching, communication, diplomacy.

2. Character Development

 Key Words: courage, self respect, decision making, respect and trust.

3.  Life Skills Development
