Building Bridges through Leadership Training (BBLT)

Building Bridges through Leadership Training (BBLT) is BYLC’s eight-week-long signature leadership training program. Designed for HSC/Alim/A Levels and first and second-year university students, the BBLT program uses a competitive selection process to enroll students from the three different educational tracks in equal numbers. The curriculum for the program draws heavily from leadership courses taught at Harvard University.

The intensive training program, coupled with an experiential learning model, challenges students to critically think about leadership and apply their skills to effectuate positive change in society. In the first phase of the program, students conduct experiments, take risks, and question deeply held assumptions in the classroom. In the second phase, students have the opportunity to translate their learning into action by implementing community service and awareness projects in underprivileged communities.
