The Community Leadership in Education (CLEd) programme aims to develop our Catalysts’ knowledge, skills and mindset to lead sustainable change in their communities through education, based on their community’s aims and aspirations. All those involved in CLEd are currently already long-term volunteers in EduSpots communities.
The programme has seven core components: Project Management, Community Engagement, Education Project Design, Communication for Impact, Literacy Development, Child Protection & Inclusion, and Fundraising & Social Entrepreneurship. STEM education and advanced literacy are additional components, and the Academy also explores well-being in social change, the power of reflection, and social leadership more widely.
We have been building leadership capacity of our local leaders since 2016, but are launching the first trial of the CLEd programme and certificate in January 2020 with our first 5 day EduSpots Academy in April 2021 with our first cohort of 19 Catalysts, who have already demonstrated impressive leadership potential and commitment in our Spot communities.
The 9 month programme involves the following stages:
Application and interview process
Introduction to course, group and mentors (online)
Community needs assessment
5 Day Residential CLEd Academy
Ongoing mentoring from local coaches
Grant application process
Community visits
Documentation of impact
Presentations
Graduation
We will be calling again for applications to be part of the second cohort in December 2021.
We will be releasing our first impact report shortly – the impact of CLEd upon individuals and their communities has exceeded all expectations in the first trial.
These are the first cohort of individuals taking part in our Community Leadership in Education (CLEd) Certificate from January 2021 – December 2022. They were selected after application, from within our existing volunteer network.
