Impact made in the lives of students at Grow Leadership Academy

01 Oct Impact made in the lives of students at Grow Leadership Academy

Grow leadership Academy has been around since the year 2011.Knowing that there are a number

of young people within the communities that are unemployed and without HOPE their aim is to

target those people. Since GLA kicked off individuals lives have been changed through social

innovation.

The Grow leadership Academy has two phases (foundation and specialization). Foundation phase

of the Grow Leadership Academy consists of four components such as Leadership,

Entrepreneurship, Digital and Creative design and writing, in the specialization phase the

students choose which stream they would like to pursue.

After completing the foundation phase students feel that their time spent in the GLA course was

not in vain.

Shaheed: “GLA has made me focused as to what I want to achieve in life, however it also made

me socialize with others and helped me be a changed person”.

Carlton: “This course brought me out of my shell and made me realize that not everyone is out

there to bully me but to help me. I gained confidence as well as opportunities in which I am

grateful”.

The students are really excited to finish the specialization phase on a high note, as they are

challenged with assignments within their respected streams.
