This year at UCA, we launched the Youth Leadership Club (YLC), a student-led initiative designed to equip learners with essential leadership skills for life. Through this club, students also prepare for programs like Model United Nations (MUN) and Model Arab League (MAL), gaining valuable experience in diplomacy, public speaking, and global affairs.

Guided by their advisors, students gather after school and during breaks to engage in structured debates, conduct critical research, and participate in collaborative discussions. They refine their public speaking, analytical thinking, and diplomatic negotiation skills while learning to draft compelling position papers, develop persuasive arguments, and confidently articulate their viewpoints on global issues.

Beyond honing communication skills, YLC fosters leadership, teamwork, and civic engagement, preparing students to thrive in diverse international settings. With mentorship from advisors and experienced participants, members gain hands-on experience in problem-solving and decision-making, empowering them to become proactive global citizens. More than just an academic exercise, the journey is a transformative experience—one that leaves a lasting impact and prepares students for leadership roles beyond the classroom.
