Mentoring youth to become stronger leaders
WHAT IS 180:LIFT?
180:Lift is an 18 week leadership development program for youth in grade 8. Global 180 staff partner with select schools operating programming during their lunch period. During this time staff have the opportunity to mentor youth in a small group setting. Since 2016 we have operated in several schools in Peel and have crafted our own curriculum focused on developing their leadership skills that discusses topics such as friendship, character, and goal-setting, among others.
our goal
The goal of 180:Lift is to mentor students towards becoming stronger leaders in their community; helping them to understand that they each have something unique that they can offer to make our world a better, more positive place. Often times they just need help understanding what those unique things are, and we are here to lift them up along the way.
“180:Lift taught me a lot of essential life skills. It taught me how to talk to people and how to be really a nice person and how to better myself while bettering other people.”
