Each day of the week now has a different “young leader” assigned to help run the session. The young leaders are scored out of 15 for each session in a number of areas including punctuality, use of clean and positive language and being a positive influence on those around them. They can then earn prizes and awards at the end of each term for a culminative score of 80% or above. The young people on the program also keep a log of what they have done each week and must complete certain volunteering assignments over the year. Those who complete the programme will be awarded with an official ASDAN qualification in volunteering through Outset Youth Action.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”20″]The Young Leaders Programme has been designed to develop young people in the areas of self-esteem, reliability, capability and leadership skills in order to create lasting change in their lives.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_image src=”http://belltowerchi.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/home-slide-05.jpg” image_size=”full” align=”center” margin_bottom=”0″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][mk_padding_divider size=”60″ visibility=”hidden-sm”][/vc_column][/vc_row][mk_page_section bg_color=”rgba(149,27,129,0.36)” bg_position=”right top” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” video_loop=”false” full_width=”true” padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”70″ visibility=”hidden-tl”][mk_padding_divider size=”50″ visibility=”hidden-sm”][mk_testimonials skin=”light” testimonials=”10448, 10450″][mk_padding_divider size=”50″ visibility=”hidden-sm”][mk_padding_divider size=”30″ visibility=”visible-sm”][/vc_column][/mk_page_section]
