Harvard Youth Lead the Change Program
$1,419.00
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.
While this program will greatly strengthen your application, it will not secure you a place at
Harvard University.
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.
The program will be delivered face-to-face at an educational venue.
We understand the value of participation, and as such, we won’t be providing lecture recordings, so
we request that all participants be present for each session.
Absolutely, this program is officially affiliated with The Leadership Institute at Harvard College.
For a deeper understanding, we encourage you to visit the Harvard YLC website.
Feel free to engage in individual conversations with the mentors to address your project or any
concerns you may have throughout the program. Furthermore, our mentors will be accessible not only
during breaks but also both before and after the program starts and ends.
Get ready for a program that strongly emphasizes interaction and engagement! The program is divided
into modules where you’ll be involved in numerous group discussions, case studies, and sample
assessments. We ensure a two-way flow of communication, allotting sufficient time for questions,
comments, and open discussions. Breaks are scheduled at regular intervals, allowing you to stretch,
walk, converse, and grab a quick bite.
YNetworking will be a key part of your experience, where there will be multiple opportunities for
you to interact with fellow participants and mentors. We’ve designed the program to place
participants in smaller, randomly selected groups, making it easier for you to break the ice, and
engage with others who share your interests. Furthermore, students will form teams and collaborate
closely on a social change project, which will require meetings outside of the program.
