empowering young people
We deliver engaging workshops and seminars for schools, sporting clubs and churches empowering young people to…
Lead their communities & be influencers of positive change
Lead themselves towards health, purpose and strength
All of our speakers each have over 10 years’ experience working with and speaking to young people in schools, sporting clubs, churches and not-for-profit organisations.
Our Alter speaking team proudly presents engaging workshops and seminars to empower and encourage young people to live healthy lives, in healthy teams and to be influencers of change in their communities.
Student Leadership workshop
An engaging workshop designed to equip and empower student leadership teams.
This workshop is all about leading culture, establishing a healthy and strong team and being the best version of yourself even as you lead others.
Includes engaging content (stories, strategies and object lessons) as well as group discussion.
Students will have opportunities to discuss practical ideas for bringing positive change and healthy leadership to their communities.
our base modules
Our standard workshop is 3hrs long and contains 3x modules, with short breaks in between:
-
This module looks at what culture is, and how to shape it for good.
Students will brainstorm and discuss their hopes and vision for their school community and practical ways they can move towards bringing it to reality.
-
This module looks at what makes a team healthy, and encourages leaders to work together with one another to bring change.
-
Healthy leaders are healthy people first - this module looks at how young leaders can operate out of a place of strength, wellbeing and health even as they lead others.
Students will have a chance to reflect on how they’re going, and how they can cultivate healthy rhythms to their lives.
We would be happy to discuss tailored options.
Seminar & Workshop topics
Our team also offers a variety of workshops to be used for various year levels. Our preference is a workshop style program that enables group discussion and personal reflection, but we can also adapt these into seminar presentations for chapels and assemblies.
Our standard presentation topics include:
Leading Yourself
Explores how positive change is often made up of lots of small, consistent steps. Encourages students to choose healthy habits, relationships and attitudes to find the best version of themselves.
Incorporates stories and practical takeaways for students to take their own steps towards leading themselves towards health, strength and purpose.
Can be paired with a Parent Seminar to help parents partner with their children in establishing healthy habits.
Beyond school
Designed for Year 12 students, this presentation tackles anxieties around finding their path after school.
This seminar is based on the different school experiences of our presenters and encourages students on their journey of exploring their own unique strengths… and that they will be okay, no matter what their score.
Empowered
girls
Made particularly for perfectionistic and high achieving girls, this seminar looks at alternative narratives to performance anxiety and comparison related stresses by empowering girls to be confident in who they are not what they achieve.
Recommended to be paired with a Parent Seminar to help parents care for their daughters as they journey through school and beyond.
Coffee for staff & Teachers
One of perks of choosing Alter to present at your school is that we also own a Coffee 4WD!
We would love to help you thank and bless your staff and teachers with 1-2 hours of on-site specialty coffee delivered from our Alter Coffee Car as part of your package.
