To Lead from the Heart
For Youth
Heart-Centered Youth Leaders
A young person’s formative years play an important part in their personal development.
We believe strongly in strengthening the inner and outer self of youth so that they are able to participate in society and also give back to the community.
One way that we support young people in their growth is by offering them the opportunity to develop skills and discover their talents while also working on projects and activities that promotes their own personal and professional development.
What is a HCYL?
Heart-Centered Youth Leaders is our community of youth volunteers between the ages of 13-17, where they will work on three main characteristics:
Grow your skills
Commitment to personal and professional growth
Lead Projects
Project planning and execution
Help the Community
Volunteering

Your journey to becoming a Heart-Centered Impact Coach starts with you completing introductory courses and training.

Before you get started, you will get the opportunity to learn more about yourself and your abilities as well as develop the attitude and skills to be able to guide and support youth during our activities.
