About Enabling Leadership
We have a mission to change the world and we're looking for like-minded individuals to join us At Enabling Leadership, we believe that creating a different generation of "leaders" is the solution to most of the complex global challenges we face today.
Our unique programs, "EL - Create" (music), "EL - Play" (football) and EL- Build (Lego) are designed to equip children, especially those who are economically and educationally marginalized, to rewrite the definition of being "successful". It is essential to redefine this in terms of people who take responsibility for their own individual, and our shared, combined futures. Our young "leaders" demonstrate and embody these values, principles, behaviors, choices and actions, recognizing that in order for me to win, everyone must win.
Every child can, and should be a leader – a role model, a global citizen and a positive contributor – it is critical for every individual to be this kind of a leader, and not just a handful of people. Now, more than ever, children need to recognize that we live in a shared world and we must learn to collaborate, think creatively and inspire positive action. Learn more at

Our teams have the opportunity to work with a diverse set of stakeholders including children, parents, school communities, sportspersons, musicians, artists, volunteers, nonprofits, media and educational institutions, and corporates amongst others.

Our staff design and manage their own schedules, choose where to work from (no cubicles), and have a dynamic leadership team to work with. Our priority is to develop passionate, responsible, creative and accountable employees, championing our values in today's world.
EL Create Program
EL Create is a group-based music learning program that enables children from under-resourced schools to tell the stories of their dreams and communities. Through enabling children to write original songs and hosting public performances, the program enables important leadership skills in students.
The Program Pedagogy focuses on building functional fluency over technical or theoretical learning for students.
EL Create curriculum comprises four key aspects - Singing & performance, synthesis, knowledge fundamentals & making music.

They also assist the program team in quality delivery and improvement of the program by conducting research, staying updated with innovative teaching and learning methodologies, and recording best practices that can be used in the program.
Program Associates will be trained for 6-8 days in July/August prior to program launch and during the course of the year. There will also be a mid-year training in September/October.
