Trendsetters

Trendsetters, is a leadership program for teens designed to cultivate leadership skills at a young age, bring teens and parents closer and inculcate greater self-awareness and an improved ability to make informed choices in life.

It is a three strand module program which seeks to simultaneously empower teachers, parents and children to build nurturing homes and meaningful relationships thus reversing the trends of suicides, depression, and materialism that is highly prevalent in today’s families in Indian metros. It is our endeavour to join hands with educational institutions and families to provide vital support to the families and citizens of tomorrow towards building of character, of integrity and of preparing children to take on the challenges life could hold.

With this aim of transforming teens who are at cross roads of making choices for lives, the Trendsetter curriculum is set up with five pillars of leadership that can lead teens to become the Trendsetters of our Nation. Packed with godly values and examples, the virtues taught by Trendsetters will truly transform the teens to become people of high integrity, high moral standards and people of higher aims and objectives.
