Looking Back: Our June 13, 2026 Global Youth Event
On Saturday, June 13, 2026, students ages 8–18 gathered for a free Maxwell Leadership Global Youth session—an uplifting morning of practical leadership insights, encouragement, and tools they could use right away, in a faith-friendly atmosphere that welcomed families and groups.
What the day looked like
Students worked through self-awareness, communication, and teamwork together—then left with a next step they could take that week. Thank you to every family, church, and school that made the morning possible.
What Students Took Away
“I learned to think of others and not just myself.”
“I understand the importance of being more intentional.”
“It’s not always about winning. It’s about learning, and learning from everything!”
“I plan to challenge my thinking. Especially self thought.”

Maxwell Leadership Global Youth Initiative
The Global Youth Initiative (GYI) is a worldwide movement to develop young leaders who influence their world for good. Through free, community-hosted events—typically held in April and October—certified facilitators equip students ages 8–18 with leadership skills, healthy self-image, and practical strategies for positive influence, including anti-bullying and character-building themes grounded in John Maxwell’s values-based curriculum.
Young people leave with ideas they can use the same week: at school, at home, and with friends. Lifescaping is proud to bring this initiative to local families, churches, and schools—and to help you get involved.
Purpose
Empower students as agents of change—with courage, resilience, and a “fail forward” mindset.
Who it’s for
Ages 8–18, plus the families, schools, and communities that support them.
Reach
Part of a global effort that has reached 1.2 million+ young people, with ongoing expansion to serve even more.
Local delivery
Hosted by certified Maxwell coaches and facilitators in schools, churches, and community settings.
Topics include: Leadership · Self-esteem · Character · Positive peer influence · Anti-bullying
Youth Group Programs — Servant Leadership That Lasts
What it is: Interactive, scripture-based sessions for small groups—school, church, family, or community.
Why it matters: Students who learn servant leadership from Christ’s example grow in humility, empathy, and responsibility. They see leadership as service, not status—and they build trust, stronger relationships, and real impact where they live.
The outcome: A group experience that is engaging, practical, and tailored to your context. Programs are typically 30–60 minutes and can be adapted to your group’s interests and schedule.
Program Topics
Inviting options for your group—each session is designed to spark growth, not read like a lesson plan.
Self-Awareness
Discover how God wired you to lead.
Students take a first step toward leadership by understanding themselves—drawing on the truth that we are one body with many gifts (1 Corinthians 12). Through a brief DISC-style exploration, they learn their natural tendencies and how their uniqueness strengthens the team.
Benefit: Confidence, self-knowledge, and a foundation for leading others well.
Ask About Self-Awareness SessionsCommunication & Discipleship
Learn to connect, communicate, and influence for good.
In a fun, team-based experience, students practice reaching others with clarity and care—aligned with the call to make disciples (Matthew 28:19–20).
Benefit: Stronger communication, courage in relationships, and practical discipleship skills.
Email About Communication SessionsDefining Success & Priorities
Clarify what “true success” means for your life.
Students reflect on purpose, values, and priorities—grounded in Scripture’s vision of a full life (John 10:10) rather than empty pursuits (Matthew 6:19).
Benefit: Wiser choices today and a clearer sense of direction for tomorrow.
Request This Program TopicTeamwork
See how every person strengthens the whole.
Through stories like Nehemiah and the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12–29), students discover the multiplying power of unity, planning, and honoring each person’s contribution.
Benefit: Collaboration skills, respect for differences, and shared vision.
Schedule a Teamwork SessionYouth DISC Assessments — Know Yourself. Communicate Better. Choose Wisely.
The Maxwell DISC program offers a youth-focused assessment for students and young adults who want a clearer picture of how they communicate, what they value, how they learn and think, and where their strengths could make the greatest difference.
The personalized report is easy to understand—not a jargon-heavy label—and opens the door to better conversations at home, school, and church. Each assessment includes a complimentary coaching conversation to help the student connect their style with their goals and get on the right road for their future.
- Understand personal strengths and blind spots
- Improve communication with family, teachers, and peers
- Make more confident decisions about activities, relationships, and direction
- Begin exploring career and calling paths that fit how they are wired
