Young Leader Programme

The Young Leader Programme is ongoing training designed to enable Young Leaders (aged 14-18) to volunteer for other AYP projects. AYP helps young leaders to:

• gain the knowledge, skills and confidence required to become an effective role model
• further their own personal development
• lead and plan sessions for  children and young people
• work towards other Awards (for example Duke of Edinburgh, Youth Outset, or Football Association Coaching)
• acquire the skills that are needed for the future (such as budgeting and effective communication)
• have fun!

Young Leaders are identified through their attendance and interaction at the youth clubs, before being invited to join the programme.
