As a youth organization our aim is to enable young people to develop their leadership skills and to be empowered to speak out on issues they care about. For the very first time, WAGGGS is now offering access to this expertise through our new, free and open to anyone online leadership training. 

Today the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is launching i-Lead, our unique, experiential and interactive leadership course provided through our award winning e-learning platform GLOW (Global learning online through WAGGGS). i-Lead is part of the UPS Foundation and WAGGGS’ commitment to provide leadership opportunities to all. Anyone aged over 16 can take part in the course. The course is free, open to all, online and flexible. The course is written by experts in global leadership.

i-Lead is split into five progressively more challenging modules. Each module contains seven 20 minute sessions which are self-directed and interactive and which can be done anytime, anywhere. You will learn about topics such as cross-cultural communication, emotional intelligence, leadership theory and motivation. Participants can join discussion groups with other students on the course from around the world. You do not have to be a Girl Guide or Girl Scout to take the course and you can sign up any time…

i-Lead is currently only available in English but it will be available in other languages shortly.

Spread the word to your friends… We want the world to benefit from 100 years of achieving excellence in leadership …
