Harnessing Future Leaders (HFL) was a yearlong CRSS-led youth leadership and development program in 2015-2016, focusing in the Khyber Pukhtunkhwa (KP) province, in collaboration with the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). HFL is an effort to enhance knowledge and understanding of the selected youth leaders from different universities of KP on topics deemed prerequisites for social peace and harmony, rule of law, democracy and governance.

CRSS partnered with nine universities in the districts of Peshawar, Charsadda and Nowshera. CRSS then worked with a group of 60 young individuals, selected from these universities, who demonstrated a proclivity for leadership.

Under this project, three collaborative workshops were conducted for the beneficiaries. The closing ceremony and achievement awards were held on March 24, 2016 in Peshawar. During the event, CRSS captured several success stories of these students. These are included in the video below.
