Nutrifood Leadership Award is an Indonesian student leadership award event. Firstly held in 2006, known as Leadership Scholarship, this year’s Nutrifood Leadership Award comes with a new format.

Having such a rapid growth of its users, social media – especially Facebook and Twitter – has become a powerful tool to initiate positive changes in society. Nearly 37 million Indonesians have placed Indonesia second in the list of countries with the most Facebook users in the world. Meanwhile, Indonesia became the fourth largest Twitter user with nearly 6 million Tweeps.

Social media as a powerful tool to initiate changes, and students as the agent of change with their leadership are a great combination to start movements that will bring positive impacts in society. Inspired by such, Nutrifood Leadership Award picked the theme of Turn Ideas Into Movement Through Social Media, and hopefully will emerge new movements on which the students are the frontliners.

Event Volunteers:
Occasionally, we have outdoor activities and events sponsored by companies. These include trips to the zoo, movies, etc. To ensure the safety of the children, we usually need 1 adult to every 3 children.

Fundraiser Volunteers:
With the limited staff that we have, it becomes challenging to appeal to people for funding. We need individuals who can be committed to be our fundraisers.
