Youth Opportunities

Youth Opportunities Association (YO) is a not for profit organisation that was established in 1997.  It works in partnership with schools and other organisations to provide young people with Personal Leadership Training (PLT).  The Personal Leadership Training works as catalyst for identifying and fulfilling personal potential.

Secondary schools and other organisations throughout the state are using the Personal Leadership Training to compliment their curriculum and attest to the many benefits of the training. These benefits include more motivated students with a positive confident attitude that results in better marks, retention rates and relationships with peers and teachers.

The Personal Leadership Training was originally written for senior management and successful Australian businesses.  It was so successful and the concepts so fundamental it was then transferred to a variety settings.

The Personal Leadership Training, as it is known now, trains young people in the knowledge and skills required for them to live enterprising and successful lives. It teaches them to become leaders of their lives independent of their circumstances.

The Personal Leadership Training involves seminars, an intensive 10 week program and on-going follow up for two years after completion of the program.  The intensive 10 week Personal Leadership Program is delivered by two trainers working one day per week for a school term with a group of 12-20 students.
