Each recipient of the RSL Youth Development Program will be invited to attend a leadership weekend the year following their award.
The RSL Youth Development Program Leadership Weekend is an opportunity to meet fellow recipients, hear from guest speakers, and be officially awarded their grant by senior members of the RSL (Queensland Branch) and Bond University Team. The weekend consists of a formal evening award ceremony, and an informal leadership presentation day where guests speakers and past recipients present.
The leadership weekend is held annually at Bond University's campus on the Gold Coast. Recipients will be sent details of the weekend once recipients have been chosen, and the winners packs have been sent via post.
