About Enabling Leadership

We have a mission to change the world and we're looking for like-minded individuals to join us At Enabling Leadership, we believe that creating a different generation of "leaders" is the solution to most of the complex global challenges we face today.

Our unique programs, "Create" (music), "Play" (football) and Build (Lego) are designed to equip children, especially those who are economically and educationally marginalized, to rewrite the definition of being "successful".

It is essential to redefine this in terms of people who take responsibility for their own individual, and our shared, combined futures.

Our young "leaders" demonstrate and embody these values, principles, behaviors, choices, and actions, recognizing that for me to win, everyone must win.

Working at Enabling Leadership

As a culture-first organization, we are looking for individuals who embody the values and behaviors we work tirelessly to teach our students every day.

Our teams have the opportunity to work with a diverse set of stakeholders including children, parents, school communities, sportspersons, musicians, artists, volunteers, nonprofits, media, educational institutions, and corporates amongst others.

We look for individuals who pride themselves on high performance and productivity, whilst also being able to practice balance and wellbeing-focused lives (we don't limit sick leave days, we believe every employee's health comes first).

Our staff design and manage their schedules, choose where to work from (no cubicles), and have a dynamic leadership team to work with.

Our priority is to develop passionate, responsible, creative, and accountable employees, championing our values in today's world. Build Program

Build uses the pedagogy of play to enable children to create a world of their imagination and open up possibilities.

Through the program which embeds the principle of positive play, students look at their home, community, school, village, city, country, and the world at large, with a new eye and work collectively, towards finding solutions for problems they encounter.

As students become more aware of themselves and their surroundings, they use their exhibition opportunities to show us the world they want to be a part of, setting an example for us to follow and leading from the front.
