The Award Scheme
SHAPING THE FUTURE WITH THE YOUNG LEADERS ACADEMY AWARDS SCHEME
WHEN A SCHOOL TAKES THE IMPORTANT STEP TO FORMULISE THEIR STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
WE BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECOGNISED
What Is The YLA Award Scheme?
The YLA Award Scheme is a fantastic opportunity for schools to get recognised for the incredible work they do in their endeavour to help their pupils learn and take part in life-changing student leadership programs.
The Award Scheme recognises this hard work and gives accredited schools the following benefits:
- Bronze Award on Joining

How To Get Accredited
Each school that joins any of our student leadership programs, courses or training gets automatic accreditation and is awarded the Bronze Award.


How Does The Award Scheme Work
Once schools have established their commitment to developing young leaders they will work towards development milestones (setout in their development plan).Â
On successful completion of these milestones a school will then be awarded to next award – Silver, Gold or Platinum.
Schools receive a certificate of achievement at every stage and get full support and training to help them hit their targets and milestones.Â

The event is hosted by the school that has shown the most progress that year / previous year. The host school gets to share best practice and run workshops with other schools in our network and beyond. An amazing opportunity to learn and benefit.
