Leadership Skills Foundation

Our vision is for everyone to be empowered to shape their future and lead their communities.

With a 40+ year heritage, the Leadership Skills Foundation exists to help young people build the confidence to believe, the qualities to lead and the skills to succeed.

Working with close to 100,000 young people every year across 2,500 delivery centres (schools, colleges and community organisations), our programmes deliver millions of hours of learning and peer-to-peer volunteering. We provide an empowering environment and learning frameworks where everyone is empowered to shape their futures and lead their communities.

97% of centre staff believe Leadership Skills Foundation programmes provide young people with the skills to succeed.

As an awarding organisation, all our programmes are accredited in line with regulatory conditions, ensuring learners achieve meaningful and recognised qualifications and awards. Our programmes equip learners with employability skills for life (communication, problem solving, teamwork, self-belief, self-management) improving motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

90% of learners said that our programmes develop important skills for their futures.

We want young people to possess the skills, knowledge and resilience needed to face the world with confidence and optimism. By enabling organisations to deliver carefully considered leadership programmes, we help shape future generations.
