Young Leader Programme (13-18yr olds)

This AQA-accredited programme, Northumberland County Council’s Young Leader Programme teaches crucial skills such as planning, communication, teamwork, emotional intelligence, and leadership, thus equipping young people for work through participation in practical activities. Key skills developed within the programme include, but are not restricted to:

• Leadership & Personal Development: Confidence building, emotional intelligence, resilience, goal setting, and time management.
• Practical & Technical Skills: Planning, risk assessment, health & safety, and leading activities.
• Communication & Teamwork: Effective communication, collaboration, and working with others.

Our first programme starts on Thursday, 22/01/2026 and runs until 05/03/2026, from 18:00 to approximately 19:30 each week. Over the weeks, young people will build leadership and personal development skills, as well as communication and teamwork. There will also be opportunities to gain skills in areas of interest such as sport, drama, entrepreneurship, and more.
These courses can help develop young volunteers for Amble Youth Project, support other charitable groups in the community, and even help towards future employment – perhaps even with us one day!
If your young person would be interested in joining this first training programme or being placed on the list for future ones, please let us know.
