Building Confident, Resilient Young Leaders

Building confident, resilient young leaders through
teamwork, life skills, and mentorship.

Skills Schools Don’t Always Teach

Young Survivalists Academy was created to help young people become confident, resilient and capable leaders. We recognized that many youth need more opportunities to practise the skills that are essential in everyday life but are not always taught directly in school. These include:

✓  Communicating clearly
✓  Handling pressure
✓  Responding to failure
✓  Leading responsibly
✓  Working through conflict
✓  Making safe decisions
✓  Standing up for themselves
✓  Supporting others
✓  Taking initiative

Our Academy combines leadership development, resilience education, communication training, practical life skills and selected outdoor learning experiences within one structured youth program.
