as explained in more detail here give you a good idea of the framework that enables HIGH IMPACT YOUTH LEADERSHIP at and beyond schools. 

On this page, we show you the practical tools and tactics to get started, inspire and involve others and activate schools, workplaces, city in your region … to go big beyond limits and to have wild fun with it.

Think of Blocks as modules and as ADD-ONs.

You can work miracles with just one or a handful of these, but you are likely to use many. As you get active, you and your growing number of friends, supporters, allies, and inspired youth and adults will come up with questions, ideas and dreams to go bigger and you will love to remember that YL has tools, programs, partners for them, and you can simply look it up or direct them to our website, and they will be able to turn their fired up passion into action and change lives and land!

Many can get combined for more impact, reach and fun. As an example, view Poster Exhibits. Add music, film, a table, and your inspired – engage people in a survey, do interviews. Will you include a FUNdraiser for a hero*ine? A book drive for a YL Project Partner’s library? Will you time your exhibit with a UN Theme Day? Will you add a video-meeting with a YL Coach or Hero*ine Speaker? Aye, this makes a nice press release va news, social media and newsletters! More than a silent poster exhibit by itself.

You see, each of these items can get used by itself. But you can easily combine them for a rich and even spectacular experience … a memorable one that cn lead to much follow-up, especially if you give people leads what to do next, what else you offer, and how they can contribute or benefit.

Many spark follow-up actions. For example, a Crash Course naturally leads to taking immediate Quickstart Actions, to form a team and to spread the spirit online and nearby using Resources. You can plan for this in advance and harness the group energy generated by your current activity to lead over to “what we can do next”.

It’s very easy. because it’s all common sense and we are all used to these activities. All we need is charge them with Youth Leadership theme. The Building Block subpages show such logical combinations and follow-up. recommended subpages Often, our materials provide tips to make the most of it.

Too often, people get turned down with “no, we can’t do this” and humanity misses out on these potentials. With YL, you can always go bigger, fast!, and when new ideas, causes and challenges come up, we will think how we can make them true with you.

This is your collection of magic wands.

Take some good time exploring.
