On offer in Cumberland from February 16 to August 3, Max Potential connects emerging young leaders (aged 16 to 18 years) with local community leaders as volunteer coaches.
They experience one-on-one coaching, workshops and must then focus on delivering a community service project.
Since being established in 2003 by The Future Leader group, Max Potential has developed an enviable reputation as a world-class coaching program providing young people with life skills to become the leaders of tomorrow.
The Future Leader’s Michelle Farrall said there were still a few positions available but students needed to get in fast by applying online at thehubbase.com.
“We have many fascinating coach mentors this year who range from a psychology student at university, a church pastor and a Parramatta Basketball representative, to a member of the Bosnian Community Council, a not-for-profit manager, a small business owner and members of the Dooleys team,” she said.
Taking part as a mentor last year, Dooleys Group Marketing Manager Susan Lahood says the program is hugely worthwhile and she could see her student transforming before her eyes.
“Improving in confidence is the most obvious benefit but what makes the program so wonderful is that the coaches are also coached ahead of the program start so are armed with many strategies to help develop the skills in our students and customise their experience.
“There’s not much else like this out there and I would advise all young people to go for it.”
