Welcome to the YAP-Student Leaders' Forum! An initiative of the Omuto Foundation to empower leadership within student leaders such as prefects and class leaders across Mpigi and beyond.
Our mission is to inspire a wave of positive change within our schools and communities, one leader at a time. We believe that every student leader has the potential to be a catalyst for change, and our mission is to provide them with the tools, skills, and knowledge they need to realize this potential.
to empower, transform, and inspire. We believe in the power of youth leadership and its potential to create a ripple effect of positive change in our schools and communities.
Through our Leadership Training Workshops and mentorship programs, we provide student leaders with the tools, skills, and knowledge they need to lead effectively. Our educational approach focuses on developing core leadership skills such as decision-making, communication, team building, and problem-solving.
We inspire student leaders to think outside the box. By promoting creativity and innovation, we aim to foster a new generation of leaders who can find unique solutions to contemporary challenges.
We instill a sense of social responsibility in our student leaders. Through community service projects and initiatives aligned with the UN SDGs, we encourage students to use their leadership skills for the betterment of their communities and the world at large.
We aim to create a network of young leaders who can learn from each other, share ideas, and collaborate on projects. This community-building approach fosters a supportive environment where student leaders can thrive.
Your journey towards making a significant impact starts here at the Student Leaders' Forum.
The Student Leaders' Forum (YAP-SLF), utilizes a unique Model of Change that aligns with Omuto Foundation's holistic model for youth development. This model is encapsulated in the acronym OMUTO: Overcome, Maximize, Utilize, Transform, Overachieve.
The first step in our model is to help student leaders overcome any barriers or challenges they may face in their leadership journey. We provide them with the necessary support and resources to navigate through these hurdles
We then focus on maximizing the potential of each student leader. Through our educational and mentorship programs, we help students to maximize their skills and talents, preparing them for leadership roles.
Once student leaders have maximized their potential, we encourage them to utilize their skills and knowledge for positive change. This could be through initiating their own projects, participating in community service, or advocating for the UN SDGs within their schools and communities.
The transformation stage is where we aim to see student leaders effecting positive change in their schools and communities. This transformation is not only personal but also extends to their peers and the wider community.
The final stage of our model is overachievement. We inspire student leaders to set high goals and strive to overachieve them, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.
We believe that student leadership plays a crucial role in achieving the UN's SDGs. Our programs are designed to promote the principles of the SDGs among student leaders, encouraging them to advocate, engage, and build initiatives that contribute to these goals.
1. Leadership Training Workshops: Our workshops emphasize the importance of sustainable development, teaching students how their leadership can contribute to the UN SDGs.
Mentorship Programs: Our mentors guide students in aligning their leadership initiatives with the SDGs.
2. Community Service Projects: Our projects are designed to contribute directly to specific SDGs, promoting social responsibility among student leaders.
3. Student-led Initiatives: We encourage students to launch initiatives that contribute to the SDGs, fostering a sense of global citizenship and responsibility.
Our goals align with the UN's vision for 2023 and beyond. We aim to empower student leaders who will drive accelerated progress towards the SDGs. By empowering 10,000 student leaders and launching 500 student-led initiatives by 2025, we aim to create a network of young leaders who continue to work towards the realization of the SDGs.
