The conference is designed for 10-15 year olds to help them discover and explore their leadership potential, and give them insight into how they can become more responsible and empowered young adults. Each year, JLC brings together 200 participants from all over Pakistan with expert speakers, educationists, trainers, industrialists and celebrities. The speakers act as mentors throughout the conference offering insight and guidance to the participants, and are facilitated by an energetic and enthusiastic team from School of Leadership to help give the participants the confidence and exposure to become future leaders.
