UPW Youth Leadership

Unleash the Power Within (UPW) Youth Leadership is a four-day program held in conjunction with Tony Robbins UPW event. Youth ages 14-17 participate in UPW as a collective group with event-experienced Captains. UPW Youth Leadership takes place year-round around the world.

We accept teens from 14-17 years-old that are in good academic standing, have completed 20 hours of community service and demonstrate leadership skills and/or a desire to grow those skills. See the next section for more specific application requirements.

Teens accepted into the UPW Youth Leadership program will join peers their own age and work together to process their learnings as a group with adult Captains. These Captains are on-hand with the group to guide teens through the event. The group stays in the room for entirety of the greater UPW Event.

No, teens participate with other peers and Captains during UPW. Each attendee’s Guardian is responsible for accommodations and transportation to and from the program each day. A guardian must be available and on call but is asked to refrain from checking during the program hours so the youth can “play full out”.

The Program takes place at nearly all Unleash the Power Within events but space is limited so be sure to apply early. We are currently accepting applications for:

The UPW event the youth are attending has an audience of adults and the content reflects that level of maturity.
