The National Leadership Programme (NLP) is an opportunity for students to build their leadership experience and networking skills, work with like-minded youth from around Aotearoa, help develop our vision and plan the future of Kaitiaki o Ara/SADD, represent young people at a national level, and advocate for young people committed to preventing loss on our roads

National Leaders focus on projects and issues that affect the SADD programme nationally including providing youth input to national programme development, resource and merchandise design, strategic development and more.


From being involved in the National Leadership Programme I have a better understanding of road safety in NZ and what SADD is doing to improve this. I have gained confidence in how I speak in public and in expressing my opinions. I’ve learned more about myself as a leader and feel empowered to truely make a difference in my community
