LEAD 2025

Youth Engagement Program for High School Students

The LEAD program is designed to inspire and equip high school students (8th Grade through 12th Grade) with essential leadership skills while nurturing a strong sense of social responsibility. Our goal is to cultivate socially conscious leaders who not only excel academically but also actively contribute to creating a better world for all.

By participating in the LEAD program, you'll engage in hands-on volunteering, dynamic expert-led workshops, and thought-provoking speaker sessions.

Key program details include:

1. Program duration is from 1st January 2025, to End of October 2025.
2. Each registered student will receive a Sewa t-shirt for event participation, so please select your correct size during registration.
3. A mandatory 90 mins meeting (in person or zoom) will occur on a designated day each month. Details regarding the  meetings and its timings will be communicated before the LEAD program begins. These meetings offer students the opportunity to meet our adult leaders, connect with fellow LEAD students, engage in project discussions, share ideas, and build an effective leadership network.
   
4. Quarterly in-person Speaker Series (a chance to interact with accomplished personalities) attendance is mandatory for all LEAD students.

These experiences will ignite your leadership passion, enhance collaborative skills, and guide you in making meaningful community contributions. As you embark on this transformative journey, your registration reflects dedication to personal growth, cooperation, and positive impact. Join us in shaping a generation of impactful leaders.
