Know your Harvard Mentors

Harvard Youth Lead the Change is led by Harvard undergraduate students who are leaders in their own communities. Differentiating this program are the student teachers and their youthful perspective on leadership development. Reliable and relatable, the teachers serve as advisors and friends to the students, breaking down intimidating age-based authority structures.

With tremendous enthusiasm for both teaching and learning, the teaching team constantly learns from the students, adapts to their interests and needs, and builds lasting relationships that continue after the program through formal and informal mentorship opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Program about?

This program features a curriculum designed by the professors of
Harvard Business School, Harvard Education School, and Harvard School of Law, and is delivered by
Harvard students. It is designed to empower students, unleashing their leadership potential while
they create actionable solutions for global challenges. Throughout the 4-day course, participants
collaborate in teams to gain insights into global issues and formulate social change projects to
tackle them.

Our team of instructors/mentors comprises current Harvard University undergraduates who are
carefully trained before taking on their roles.

Participants after completing the program successfully will receive a certificate from The
Leadership Institute of Harvard College and one year of mentorship from the Harvard mentors.

On the program’s final day, students collaborate in teams to present their social change projects to
an audience of approximately 200 individuals. We extend invitations to students’ parents, school
principals, counsellors, members of the press, and distinguished guests to participate in this
event. Additionally, we livestream the proceedings on Facebook and YouTube for those joining us
online.

 

Students will form groups to undertake a social change project aimed at delivering practical
solutions to global challenges. The scope of these projects is broad, across diverse domains such as
mental health and the welfare of animals.
