Our Programs

Activate delivers three leadership development programs: the WOW (What Other Way?) Program, Re-Activate Program and a Corporate Community Leadership Program (CCLP) that will be launched in 2006.

Each of these programs works towards achieving our mission - to recognise, develop and activate the leadership potential of young people from tough realities. By doing so, we seek to enable these young people to activate social change.

Young people's first experience of Activate is usually through the WOW Program, after which they progress to Re-Activate, then CCLP. Each program deepens particpants' understanding of leadership and further develops their ability to activate social change.

The WOW Program's focus is on personal leadership and experiential development of leadership, work and life skills. Participants come to recognise their incredible strengths, born of their life experiences, and develop additional skills to activate social change.

The Re-Activate Program harnesses the work done during the WOW Program and further develops participants' personal leadership and leadership, life and work skills. It provides participants with the practical skills to activate social change.

Graduates of Re-Activate are able to return to their local community or continue on to the Corporate Community Leadership Program.

The Corporate Community Leadership Program is a leadership and coaching development program that brings together corporate executives and talented young adults from tough realities. Participants develop skills that enable them to empower others.

In addition to activating change in their local community or organisation, CCLP graduates have the opportunity to return to Activate to be trained as leaders and facilitators within our programs.

The "Community Hub" model
At Activate, we aim to integrate our programs with support systems and networks already available to young people in their own communities. This ensures integrated support for participants before, during and after our programs.

It also serves to strengthen our collaboration with local community organisations and service providers - our partners in providing the best possible development opportunities for young people.
