Youth Initiative's Civic Leadership School (CLS) is an intensive 5 day residential civic leadership programs for emerging Nepali youth leaders. The CLS fellows will go through a series of outdoor and indoor activities that challenges their physical and intellectual comfort zones. They will explore the complex challenges that affect their lives and communities today, and are introduced to the tools and strategies for their leadership development and civic engagement and also build network with fellow youth leaders to meet the demands of the present times.

It takes many individuals and groups to make up a successful community - individuals from local government, to bureaucrat at ministry, to school teachers, to volunteer groups to police, army personnel and businessman. Thus these are the Leaders who will shape Nepalese society in the days to come. Therefore, Civic Leadership Program recognizes that there are hundreds of leaders in Nepalese society who change the direction of society and yet typically receive little public recognition. Often, these leaders take ethically or morally correct actions that are decidedly at odds with what is popular. These leaders lead by example and with courage and passion. Their contributions to society often go unrecognized yet are indispensable to a properly functioning society.

Civic Leadership Program's major objective will be to identify these multiplier youth leaders in their respective fields and communities, bring them together in residential outdoor civic leadership program and sharpen their leadership skills, interact with each other in the field of development, government, private sector and develop networks that will promote lifelong community involvement. This will help to:

• build trust and energize individuals among different fields, professions, cultures and geographic regions
• Improve communication skills, create a culture of tolerance
• Develop high performance team with problem solving skills and strategies
• Create an environment conducive to risk taking
• Resolve conflict within individuals and within groups
