=============================================

Are you aged between 18-24 years of age and a young Filipino leader wanting to be part of an effective and lasting solution? Rise above the apathy and feeling of helplessness!

The Asian Institute of Management is responding to the "need to develop a new breed of young Philippine leaders, who will have the will, skills, and support to take up the great challenges that the Philippines confronts." The Tuloy-Tulay (Building Bridges) Leadership Camp for the Youth is an intense and challenging week of personal discovery, skills enhancement, and commitment building. One of the Camp’s core messages is that given the complex problems that are faced in the country, no singular leader can address these alone. There is a great need to learn how to work together.

Objectives:

The Camp’s ultimate objective is to deliver beneficial and positive impact to the lives of the people that are or will be affected by the future leadership of the chosen participants. The Camp intends to achieve this, in particular, by:

1. Providing intensive leadership development that will allow the participants to be exposed to current Philippine complex problems as well as begin the journey toward self-mastery so that they can be personally committed and competently equipped to address these problems; and

2. Facilitating the building of a vibrant network among the participants, who will have an intense shared experience through the Camp, so that knowledge and resources can be shared in an effort to continually improve and sustain each other’s leadership and efforts.
