Leadership Training
Free The Children believes that young people are leaders in their communities and the world. Our Leadership programming gives youth the skills to turn their leadership potential into real action.
O Ambassadors: This school-based, joint project with Oprah’s Angel Network connects young people in North America with people around the world to create lasting change by working toward the UN Millennium Development Goals.
Life in Action: The Life in Action program educates and empowers youth across North America to initiate positive change through healthy daily choices, an active lifestyle and social responsibility.
Global Voices: Through our partnership with the Toronto Star, young journalists are invited to share their ideas about social issues topics alongside Craig Kielburger and Marc Kielburger’s weekly column. Curriculum resources for educators are provided to bring the program into the classroom.
Directors of Change: Student-made documentary films meet school curriculum in this innovative school-based program.
Take Action! Summer Leadership Academy: Led by our expert peer-facilitators, this week-long leadership program fosters social-issues savvy and lifelong friendships. A joint initiative of Free The Children and Me to We/Leaders Today.
