What you gain
The Rose and Lion Young Leaders programs turn story into experience. The programs are based in story – and, as children live out the story alongside the characters, they practice turning intangibles like compassion, curiosity and self-empowerment into real world experience to develop their leadership potential.
Practice makes better! Whether the child is mentored 1:1 or in one of our leadership programs, we reinforce learning with repetition and adaptation. This builds confidence and competence.
We create a safe environment in which the child can make decisions and feel empowered. By transitioning from story to reality, children safely develops real-world experience, which supports the child’s skill development and builds self-esteem.
A child may not view themself as capable under “normal circumstances” but can see themself as capable in an imaginary world. This practice – even when it’s imaginary – turns into better skills because the child begins to believe in their potential. Then, we transfer this belief to the real world by providing a safe training ground.
how we teach
Program Activities
We cultivate imagination through drawing, reading, creative writing and playacting. Creative activities make the story come alive.
Nature-based exploration builds self-confidence. We offer children opportunities to explore their own community and to connect with nature.
By crafting and conducting experiments, children learn about collaboration in a fun way. Plus, it’s a great way to learn perseverance!
Through storytelling, children can safely face a challenging situation, whether it’s standing up to a bully or using your voice to ask for what you want.
