Missions
The Young Leader Missions complete each Stage of YL training.
Missions enable you to put the knowledge that you have gained into practice in a safe environment.
Completing all four Missions as well as the Training Modules means you can gain your Young Leader Award.
When you register a Mission you will be asked to reflect on what you did, it doesn’t matter whether the mission went well, or whether there were opportunities for improvement, what matters is that you reflect on what happened and learn from the experience.
You will be asked to briefly describe what you have done for the Mission. Your Leaders and you will receive the description by email. Your Leaders may discuss your Mission with you and then they will sign it off.
