Youth Education and Leadership Scheme
Aegis Students' Youth Education and Leadership Scheme is designed to equip young people with the knowledge and skills they need in the fight against genocide and mass atrocities.

If thou canst mutine in a matron’s bones,
To flaming youth let virtue be as wax
And melt in her own fire.”
