Volunteer for a Project Our volunteers volunteer to lead - to lead themselves out of their own fears and insecurities and to lead others around towards their unlimited leadership potential. That way they are actually not volunteers, but leads for a project. All our projects help individuals discover some aspect of leadership in their life - be it helping them find their voice as leaders, or helping them discover their writing potential. Our volunteers would drive these projects like true leaders, with responsibility as well as accountability, innovating and learning on the job. For more info, mail mail@leadcap.org Latest Programmes
