The Youth Leadership Institute explores various models of leadership that have been developed from both a theoretical and practical perspective. The learning objectives of the Institute are primarily twofold:- First, Participants gain an understanding of the major leadership theories. For each model, the Participants learn the theoretical basis of the model, the strengths and weaknesses, and how to apply the model to practical situations in business and other settings.
- Second, Participants explore their personal leadership style through a series of assignments and project activities. These project activities enable participants to reflect on how they view leadership as both subordinates and as leaders. By participating in the Youth Leadership Institute, participants develop a well-rounded understanding of leadership concepts for use in their own leadership opportunities.

Dear NEEDCSI,
I am very proud of reading this mentioned above and being a friend of Emmanuel Ande Ivorgba through Libby and Len even where I am now in Myanmar.
I am interested in your program to cooperate with you in finding such small training programs into Myanmar because I am a big freak of involving youth group here.
To inform to whom mainly concern about this request in details, I would be sending you through your official e-mail.
Kindly regards,

Good day, I truly appreciate the mind behind such a laudable project, a lot of Nigerian youths are truly passionate for change but lack the platform, trainings, funds and the directive on how to bring their initiative to life. I want to offer the support of my youth networks platform http://visionarieshub.com , I believe with this platform you can help spread the word and reach a larger audience of young persons who need help..God will increase you to do more good works, and attain your goals and objectives.
