Unleash the leader in you!

Conducted and designed by MIT Sloan School of Management faculty, the Youth Leadership Conference, in collaboration with the MIT Leadership Center, transforms high school students like you into confident problem-solvers, collaborators and communicators, who will solve global issues and lead the change of tomorrow.

Over the 5 day course, students work in a mentor-led group to understand a global issue – whether it is climate change, mental health, or poverty – and develop a social change project to address it.

What makes the workshop unique is that our mentors are eminent faculty members from the MIT Sloan School of Management who have garnered invaluable experience and practical knowledge, and know what it takes to implement social change.

The workshop is in extremely high demand and has travelled across the world to places like Japan, Myanmar, Dubai and the United States.
