Youth Leadership Programme
Introduction
The Youth Leadership Programme extends Buddhist education from Primary students to Secondary students and above. This initiative focuses on instilling leadership and event planning skills alongside Buddhist teachings. Its goal is to enable youths to independently organise and lead Buddhist events. These abilities are not only crucial for better service to the Buddhist community as they mature but also invaluable assets in their everyday lives. They enable a shift in mindset and actions from follower to leader. Enroll your child in this class to unlock a multitude of life’s advantages.
