Young Leaders Programme

The Young Leaders Programme is open to all young people aged 14-17, including new members. This initiative has been designed to support young people in building confidence, develop practical skills, and take a more active role in their communities. The concept grew organically from within the youth clubs, where existing members began showing a natural interest in helping run sessions.

 

The programme built on that momentum, offering structure, training and support to any young person ready to step up, regardless of if already part of a youth club or looking to join for the first time.

 

Participants will begin with an 8-week training course covering leadership, communication, safeguarding, conflict resolution, and more. After training, they will volunteer at one of Gibraltar’s four youth clubs one evening a week for two months, gaining hands-on experience in a safe, supportive setting. Young leaders will receive regular support from a licensed Youth Worker and a Certificate of Achievement recording their volunteer hours. The programme promotes responsibility, personal growth and teamwork - while also offering a stepping-stone into future volunteering or youth work roles.
