Teamwork, Leadership & Challenge!

Teamwork, Leadership & Challenge!

Along with having an epic adventure, having fun, making friends and creating memories, young people will learn an array of different skills on The Teen Leadership Challenge. Here's what our main objectives are for building key skills:

Teamwork

Being part of a high-performing team is really important in the modern world! At The Teen Leadership Challenge, young people are placed in teams of 10 young people from the UK and around the world. Our staff bring the team together, facilitate the team, teach them how to work together and communicate effectively and complete different challenges. All of this is done in a positive atmosphere of fun, laughter and friendship 

Leadership

We want to help shape the future leaders of this world.

We want young people to learn how to be more confident, kind and effective leaders. We will help give young people the tools to work in a team, help lead a team and help overcome an array of different challenges - all whilst having lots of fun and building strong friendships. 

We have devised a unique programme for teenagers to build leadership skills by doing the following:

• Young people will get the chance to choose their own elective challenges to build skills, expertise and passion for their areas of interest
• Young people will be put into teams of 10 young people and learn how to be an effective part of a team
• Young people will be given the chance to be a team leader to learn how to lead, facilitate and debrief the team
• Young people will be set different challenges, all requiring unique skills to overcome 
• Young people will be led by positive role models who will mentor each young person individually
• Young people will be give to each young person throughout the programme to learn what they are amazing at and what are their areas for development
• Young people will be given the opportunity to step out of their comfort zone and take healthy risks - all in a safe, fun and supportive environment 

Challenge

Giving young people challenges is a vital way for young people to overcome difficult situations, learn new skills and build resilience. On the Team Leadership Challenge, we create close-knit teams of 10 young people and give them different challenges to overcome. Our staff will help support, guide and develop them. Our staff will help them overcome obstacles, keep trying and develop resilience and confidence. 

The challenges we have set have been carefully designed - challenges to push young people out of their comfort zones to complete the challenges through learning new skills and building confidence in themselves. This is all done under the guidance of our staff who will make sure that each young person can achieve their own goals. 

Through completing different challenges, young people will develop new skills, and greater confidence, make fantastic friendships and have an amazing summer adventure on the Teen Leadership Challenge.
