Building Young Heroes

This is our weekly Saturday leadership programme which launched in September 2021. It is targeted towards Year 5, 6 and 7. Every week we have a different theme that forms the backdrop to teach and develop essential life and educational skills to our children that give them the foundation to go on and become the best version of themselves. Weekly workshops are creative, practical, innovative and fun! 

Lockdown Bonkers Bear Campaign

When the Winter Lockdown was announced by the government in December 2020, HYL were so disappointed that it would mean the postponement of our empowerment and development programmes. However, rather than just lay dormant till circumstances changed, our small team put our heads together to come up with new ways we could support our families until our in-person programmes could start.

We put together a campaign to give support to our children and their parents that was specific to them and launched ‘Herts Young Leaders x Bonkers Bear’ in collaboration with Helen Wand, artist and creator of the Bonkers Bears. The children were asked to design t-shirts for their bears and write stories about them amongst other at-home challenges we set.
