What is Lead and be Led?
ATM believes that every young person is a born leader. With the right support, encouragement, tools, and opportunities, a young person can be confident enough to speak up, make changes, and pursue their aspirations despite social and economic barriers.
The ‘Lead and Be Led’ project is a one-of-a-kind program that focuses on the core skills and attributes needed in today’s society, emphasising social and emotional competencies, including self-awareness, collaboration, empathy, relationship-building, and the ability to lead through authenticity rather than authority. Young people who graduate from this programme sit on influential panels and boards, such as the youth advisory board, decision-making panels, and consulting leaders in the UK about issues that primarily affect young people. Our cohort graduates have made strides in impacting high level decision making through their advocacy and social action campaigns.
