The purpose of the program is to develop the capacity of student leaders to lead their school community (and to lead in the wider community), and give them the leadership skills to have ownership over their student leadership positions.
Staff and students will learn:
-
How to take effective action on issues in their communities

Peer and community organising skills including building public relationships, listening campaigns and power analysis
-
Leadership skills including building effective volunteer organisations inside schools and responding to community needs
Staff and students will meet:

Other students passionate about social justice, leadership and building a stronger community
-
Trainers and small group leaders from across Sydney’s diverse civil society organisations
The training is open to students that:
-
Are current or future student leaders;
-
Have an interest in social justice;
