Youth Leadership
Our goal is to empower the next generation of world leaders. Young people 18-27 will learn practical skills they can apply to make an impact in their family, community, country and planet.
Young people these days… are pretty awesome. They’re artists, activists, athletes and quite literally the future of our planet. Why is it, then, that so many young people often don’t feel like they’re being heard? Or worse yet, they’re being heard, but no one is listening and what they say is dismissed. As the largest single demographic on the planet, the 1.8 billion young people deserve a voice. We’re here to help them find it. Coacharya alumna Leah Black, an experienced youth coach, mentor, and educator has developed an online program for the world’s youth.
Youth Leadership Program Format
There are several components to our Youth Leadership program. The content will be delivered without jargon and in formats that work for diverse global audiences aged 18-27.
- Group training – Participants 18-27 years old will meet for 90 minutes weekly, via Zoom. This is an interactive training program focused on building skills.
- School groups – Schools from around the world have the option of partnering with us for customized courses delivered in a combination of on-demand and live webinar-style and townhall virtual meetups. This program is open to learners as young as 13 when sponsored by schools. Contact us for more information
- On-demand self-paced programming – Soon, we are launching a library of free and mobile-friendly modules, available on learn.coacharya.com. This content will cover a wide range of topics applicable to young people.
- Individual and group coaching with specialist, credentialed youth coaches is also available. These sessions can be utilized by parents for their kids, by educators for their classrooms or student groups, and by individuals over 18 for career or life coaching. Pricing will be competitive to ensure the widest access to the largest number of young people.
