“Great leaders do not create followers, they create more leaders...”
We teach leadership skills to newly elected school prefects from a servant leader perspective.
33 public/community, private and disability-inclusive schools have benefitted from our one-day workshop; reaching over 626 students.
We monitor the progress of the prefects during their tenure to ensure that they step down the lessons they have learnt and execute their one-year project plan.
However, in 2022, we introduced the Special Meet The Leader Session’. We went into partnership with John Maxwell Coaches who volunteer to teach our secondary school beneficiaries how use their influence positively and to become servant leaders.
So far, we have trained 85 emerging young leaders.

“Leadership is not restricted to position and age; it is self-made and influential. Everyone has this self-leadership quality.”
‘Prefect ship’ comes with a lot of responsibilities and juggling these responsibilities with academics can be a bit overwhelming for
these young fledging student- leaders like Precious who more often than not have never handled a leadership position.
Prefects are student leaders occupying various positions to oversee the management of student affairs, working alongside the teachers while keeping up with their studies.

16-year-old Precious struggled in her role as a Social Prefect of Prudence Educational Centre because of her inability to effectively supervise the students, she was supposed to lead.
Most Prefects, like Precious find it difficult to cope with their roles for different reasons, but the most prominent one is the defiance of their fellow students. Some prefects are disrespected or even threatened while trying to do their duties. Thus, getting their fellow students to obey instructions is never an easy feat for these perfects.
