Our Impact
Sharing the stories and successes of YLAA students.
In 2018, we embarked on a mission to support the education system by providing a dynamic platform for young people in Australia. Our goal was clear: to equip, educate, and empower young individuals to take charge, not only of their own lives but also of their schools and communities.
Recognising our expertise in personal and professional development, we set out to nurture the potential within each young person. As the pace of change in our world continues to accelerate, it has become crucial for our youth to possess the skills necessary to adapt, innovate, and lead.
Through a combination of large-scale events, in-school programs, and collaborative partnerships with local and state government agencies, we have successfully engaged thousands of young people. The impact has been profound, as these young leaders have sparked massive positive transformations in their own lives, schools, and communities.
