What Schools Say About Us
Careers Leader
"The Diverse Leaders Team are incredibly passionate about empowering young people to become leaders of the future and this meant that the level of engagement from our students was incredibly high. I would highly recommend that any school who gets the opportunity to work with DLN should embrace it."
Headteacher
"We are very pleased with Diverse Leaders Network. It's been a great opportunity for our students to learn leadership skills and apply them in their lives. Leadership Education should be part of the curriculum. It is as important as Science, Maths, and English."
Student Participant
“I have never taken part in something like this before and this experience will stay with me for a long time. This mentoring programme has made me feel more courageous and sure about my future, as this was something that I was struggling with and didn't have a clear idea about. I would recommend this to others.”
