Providing a platform for young leaders in our County
The Falcons Leadership Academy is a free education programme empowering young people aged 13–16 across Derbyshire with the confidence, qualifications, and experience to help shape their future. Combining leadership, personal development and volunteering opportunities, the Academy helps participants develop key employability skills such as communication, teamwork, and self-belief. Through recognised qualifications and real-world experiences with our partners, students are supported to grow in confidence, expand their ambitions, and take meaningful steps towards their next stage.
Free for Young people aged 13-16 from Derbyshire, who wish to develop their skills and engage with local Clubs, School and Community.
