More than a future, a mission: Youth leadership for sustainable impact

Leadership is not just a title. It’s the spark that ignites change, the ability to inspire and mobilize around a cause. It is this leadership that the NAWL strives to cultivate in each young person, transforming them into a positive force for their community. Our ‘leadership programs’ are designed for this. They provide young people with essential skills, from public speaking to project management, so that they can take charge of their destiny and that of their peers.

Each young person we train becomes an agent of change, capable of conducting an awareness campaign, leading a club or representing their community. It is by multiplying these leaders that we will create a powerful and lasting leverage effect on health and development issues.

Youth leadership is not tomorrow’s leadership, it’s today’s leadership. He is at the heart of the NAWL’s action, and he is the key to a future where each young person has the power to make a difference.
