Leadership Starts in Primary School

At Youth Leadership Academy Australia (YLAA), we believe primary school is where leadership begins—not years from now, but today. That’s why our programs are purposefully designed to help Year 5 and Year 6 students discover their potential, build confidence, and develop essential leadership skills for school and life.Whether it’s leading a team project or supporting a peer, young leaders thrive when given the tools to succeed.

✅ Custom-Fit Leadership Workshops for Primary Schools

No cookie-cutter sessions here. We tailor every program to align with your school's leadership framework, student cohort, and community goals.

✅ Created by Young Leaders, for Young Leaders

YLAA is proudly youth-led. Our facilitators understand today’s students and what motivates them, because we’ve walked the same path.

✅ Evidence-Based Learning That Sticks

Grounded in positive psychology and pedagogy, our programs focus on resilience, communication, collaboration and emotional intelligence, key skills backed by research and lived experience.

Our Goal

We find that our youngest students are an ever-inspiring cohort who bring a sense of energy and inspiration that can dissolve over time as young people enter the stress and pressure of adulthood. We aim to nurture the inner child within every student and let them know that their voice matters, and that the impact that they can make on the world by being exactly who they are, is profound.
