Who can apply?
Conference leadership teams are comprised of a diverse range of young leaders. There isn’t just one set of traits to be a successful leader, therefore we work hard to ensure the leadership team is made up of a range of personalities, strengths and experiences. It is important that the mentors ‘walk the talk’, living out the philosophies and values of yLead in their everyday lives.
Our Conference Mentors can be:
- Past Conference Mentors
- Past and active yTeam members
- Rangatira graduates
- Other yLead participants that have finished Year 12 from across the globe
- People out in their community showcasing leadership
