Gino Bartali Youth Leadership School is founded on the principle that sport can change society, educate youth and offer an enriching atmosphere. The mission of the program is to bridge cultural divides and celebrate diversity by bringing youth of all cultures, religions and backgrounds together in one unique program. The program takes young athletes on a multi-year journey which includes, apart from an intensive cycling training regime, an educational program focused on leadership skills. The youth, who come from different social backgrounds and speak different languages, are brought together to live under the same roof as part of our goal of bridging social gaps. The students live at the school full time, following a first of its kind curriculum, combining cycling training and leadership studying.Using methods of experiential learning, the students get to learn powerful tools for multicultural pluralism, respect, understanding, and non-violent conflict resolution in society.Through volunteer activities at the School and in the community, we nurture the idea of giving back and driving change as a way of life for the students.
