 The School is a launching pad into the rest of your life -
when you graduate the next step is up to you and God!
 
Many of the School for Youth Leadership students have
gone on to work in ministry full time and to be officers in the Salvation Army. 
Whilst other students have gone on to be actively involved in their corps
and be successful in the careers God has led them to. 
 
Whatever happens in the years after the School, the foundation has been put into place. 

A foundation of discipleship- knowing God and knowing yourself.
