The ALT Program (Awakening Leadership in Teens)

Our children are not only an enormous source of energy and creativity, but they are also the key to our future. In a culture that is so warped around ‘wants’ and ‘achievements,’ it is easy for the children to grow up without a sense of gratitude or a sense of empathy.

Research shows that community service activities not only enable in our children higher self-esteem, responsibility and resilience but also helps them gain skills such as ability
to work well with others, leadership, communication and decision making. skills

The ALT (Awakening Leadership in Teens) program is designed to kindle the desire in
our children to make a meaningful social impact in our communities. At Orion, participation in community service activities is instilled as a value that is pursued with passion. Children start to associate helping someone else with their own joy. The program exposes children to a host of causes to associate with, such as -

• Ecology - Environment and Recycling
• Economy - Empowerment and Employment
• Epidemiology - Diseases and Lifestyle

for life itself and sensitizes children to issues in the real world.
