The Youth Leadership Training Program engages students in meaningful projects that focus on personal development and community impact. Through this program, AUS students help youth build their leadership skills and develop a sense of responsibility towards their communities. It prepares students to take significant leadership roles in their university and in other organizations across the UAE. Participants learn to work with different races, genders and backgrounds, which enables them to create change in their communities. This is a year-long program; participants are selected at the beginning of an academic year based on their performance in the Student Leadership Program (SLP).
