Chief Executive Officer & Founder
Wil is a 18-year-old social entrepreneur, committed to supporting youth across the globe to realise their true potential. After attending a Youth Leadership Camp at 14, Wil left inspired to make a change within his school, community and country, and began his leadership journey. This drive led to the birth of Youth Leadership Academy Australia. Now, Wil has the opportunity to travel internationally and share his story, allowing young people to realise their age does not determine their ability to achieve extraordinary things.

Our 'For Youth, by Youth' Approach.
Wil Massara started Youth Leadership Academy Australia at just 15 years old, understanding the problems, struggles and adversities young people face first-hand. Our 100% for-youth, by-youth leadership team and approach to operations has allowed Youth Leadership Academy Australia to easily build trust and rapport with students, ultimately ensuring stronger outcomes for students.
We are committed to ensuring that all young people are equipped with relevant leadership skills and knowledge to build a positively sustainable future. Furthermore, we recognise how the ripple effect of youth teaching youth can achieve this, throughout communities all across Australia and beyond.
