5th June 2020
Colleges are now invited to register for the 2020/21 Leadership Academy programme.
The project supports colleges to enhance and develop volunteering programmes for their students.
Due to COVID-19, some elements of the programme, such as face-to-face training, will have to be adapted but we will be running all elements where possible.
Any AoC Sport member can register as a Leadership Academy college and have access to the general benefits, including our very popular This Girl Can and Inclusive Ambassador programmes.
Colleges that register will have the opportunity to apply for enhanced opportunities which will have greater impact in their college. These will require specific KPI’s and a greater level of reporting for the colleges.
This includes our Officiating Hubs programme and the introduction of the development fund and Inclusion Hubs. These opportunities will require colleges to apply and if successful they will be given KPIs and must submit an impact report.
