About LevelUp Young Leaders

Who runs LevelUp Young Leaders?

LevelUp Learning (LevelUp Edu Pvt Ltd), from its office at 7th floor, City Towers, Sir Thyagaraya Road, T. Nagar, Chennai 600017. Since 2022, LevelUp has taught content creation, AI, filmmaking, writing, communication, public speaking, storytelling and design to 75,000+ learners, most of them adults.

LevelUp Young Leaders brings the same way of teaching to ages 8–18: small live groups, people who do the work for a living, a real piece of work, and a panel at the end.

What is LevelUp Young Leaders?

Four live online cohorts, Expeditions abroad for ages 13–18, and a free Strengths Profile. Each cohort ends with a graded Final Review: finished work, shown live to an industry panel.

• Public Speaking, Communication & Leadership, ages 8–18: a talk delivered live to the panel, filmed and edited, plus a before-and-after reel.
• AI Filmmaking, ages 11–18: a 60–90 second film they wrote, shot and edited, a poster and an AI-disclosure card.
• Creative Thinking & Storytelling, ages 8–11: 8–12 illustrated pages with their name on the cover, and an author trailer.
• AI Product Building, ages 12–18: a working AI web app on a private link, a 2-minute demo video and a 3-minute pitch.
• Expeditions: a week abroad for ages 13–18, with their school or in a cohort led by our specialist educators.
• The Strengths Profile: a free 30-minute activity at home for ages 8–18, then a one-to-one session with a LevelUp counsellor. Not an IQ test.

How are faculty chosen and checked?

Every cohort is taught by working professionals who do the work for a living, and every one of them is background-verified. Each cohort page names its faculty before the first batch. A second adult joins every live session.

• Public Speaking, Communication & Leadership: a specialist speech or debate coach with 10+ years of experience.
• AI Filmmaking: industry-grade filmmakers who use AI tools in their own work.
• Creative Thinking & Storytelling: a children's illustrator or author.
• AI Product Building: a product engineer or founder who has shipped AI products.

Each child also gets one-to-one time with a mentor, alongside the group sessions, and every family can talk to an in-house LevelUp counsellor.

How do you keep children safe?

The same rules in every cohort:

• Two adults in every live session.
• Faculty never message children privately.
• A parents-only WhatsApp group for each batch.
• Sessions recorded for safety review, and deleted within 90 days.
• Cameras encouraged, never required.
• Children under 13 never get their own AI accounts.
• Minimal data, never sold.

Live sessions run 60–120 minutes. Most work between sessions happens off screen.

How do fees and refunds work?

Nothing to pay to apply. Your child does the free Strengths Profile first, then a counsellor talks it through with you.You hear the fee on a 20-minute call, before you decide. Full refund within 7 days of the first session. Nothing is charged until you choose a seat.
