- About the Programme
Encouraging participants to take ownership of STEM learning and to inspire others is at the heart of the Young STEM Leader Programme. Guided by the philosophy “for young people, by young people,” the programme empowers learners to develop confidence, leadership, and STEM skills.
Supported by trained Tutor Assessors, learners can join at any level and collect evidence in formats that suit them, including through a secure digital portal.
Above all, YSLP aims to promote curiosity in STEM, allowing Young STEM Leaders to learn about the world around them in an engaging and accessible way.

The programme is offered across seven curricular levels:
Who can take part?
The programme is free and open to all young people in Scotland who are working with a YSLP Trained Tutor Assessor. It can be delivered within a school, community or youth group setting. It can be integrated with existing awards and programmes that a young person may hold or be working towards. Centres are encouraged to decide the most appropriate level to offer their young people. The Project Team at SSERC can support with this decision.
International Centres
The YSLP can support the development of leadership skills through STEM for young people across the world. We are working with International Centres to support them to deliver the Young STEM Leader Programme and reap the benefits for their young people. SCQF Credit points are internationally recognised.
