Creating a world with more confident adolescents who know their self worth

– “Wajijue na Wajiamini” –

When You Look at Your Child, What Do You See?

You see them—the bright, beautiful soul who used to light up a room. The one with the infectious laugh, the wild imagination, the fearless spirit. Maybe they’re stubborn, but it’s because they’re strong-willed. Maybe they’re quiet, but their mind is brilliant. 🙂

But lately, something’s changed….

You see the way they stare at their screen, scrolling past filtered smiles and edited lives—measuring themselves against an impossible standard. You notice how they shrug off hobbies they once loved, how their excitement fades into “whatever” or “it’s fine.” Maybe they snap when you ask what’s wrong, or they retreat to their room, quieter than before.

You’re not imagining it….Research shows: 7 in 10 teens say anxiety and depression are major problems among their peers (Pew Research); 1 in 3 young people worldwide has experienced cyberbullying (UNICEF); 3x higher risk of depression in teens who spend 3+ hours daily on social media (JAMA Psychiatry).

But you dont have to go through it alone...

The Budding Leaders Program was created for teens just like yours—to help them:

Confidently navigating peer pressure and social interactions.
Articulate their ideas and lead with purpose.
Take ownership of their learning and future aspirations.

This isn’t about changing who they are – it’s about revealing the strongest version of themselves. Our team of clinical psychologists and adolescent development specialists have crafted a bespoke leadership curriculum that gives teens the tools to:

Rediscover their innate confidence through evidence-based psychological frameworks
Navigate social challenges with clinically-proven resilience strategies
Develop executive functioning skills tailored to their unique learning style
Master emotional intelligence techniques used by top performers

So what is the Budding Leaders Program?

The Budding Leaders Program is a training and mentorship program focused on providing adolescents with the skills and tools they need to make informed life decisions.

What We Offer

The Budding Leaders Program, can be offered as a school club/program as well as a community club/program, with a focus on:

Track 1:
Confidence Building

We start with creating an understanding of one's self and how they show up to the world. We build the teens' belief in their own internal capabilities, fostering self-confidence and personal growth.

Track 2:
Leadership Skills

Here we create awareness on what it takes to be a great leader and the different skills required in leadership such as problem solving. We also create exposure to other great leaders.

Track 3:
Entrepreneurship Skills

Here we teach the basics of running a business. If a child is unable to transition into institutions of higher learning, s/he is not left vulnerable and can start a small business to sustain themselves and save.

Track 4:
Career Progress

Here we help the budding leaders identify ways to succeed in their ideal career path based on their personality and areas of interest. We give them a glimpse on what different career paths look like.

We look to journey with teens and pre-teens as we build their CONFIDENCE, develop their LEADERSHIP muscles, spark their ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT and help them make informed CAREER decisions. We incorporate FUN activities in all our sessions to make them memorable and enjoyable for the children.
