Celebrating Global Youth Leadership: A Major Milestone in the Young Leader Programme
“Before this programme, I wasn’t sure if my voice mattered. Now I know I can speak up, lead, and create real change, not just for myself, but for my community.”
— Young Leader from Uganda
We are thrilled to celebrate an incredible achievement – the completion of the Core Block of the Street Child United Young Leader Programme! What began as a virtual gathering of young changemakers from across the globe has transformed into a powerful journey of growth, resilience, and unity.
Over the past four months, young leaders from our partner organisations around the world have come together to build not only essential life and leadership skills – but also lifelong connections. Through 16 inspiring and interactive sessions, they explored topics ranging from mental health to public speaking, from financial literacy to advocacy, each one sparking new ideas and bold ambitions.
This Core Block laid the foundation for what’s to come, equipping each young person with the mindset and tools needed to lead with empathy, confidence, and purpose. It wasn’t just about learning—it was about discovering the power within.
As we look ahead, excitement builds for the next phases:
- Workshops Block: Focused, skill-building sessions led by experts and peers.
- Mentorship Block: One-on-one guidance to shape personal and community projects.
- Giving Back Stage: Real-world impact through youth-led initiatives.
We couldn’t be prouder of what these future leaders have accomplished so far. They’re not just ready for the future—they’re already building it.
Here’s to the unstoppable energy, passion, and vision of the Young Leaders of 2025. The world is watching—and cheering you on.
