JOIN THE NEW RISE FEMALE LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME

Sport NI is encouraging females to take part in the first edition of the Rise sports leadership programme.

The 18-month programme is for female coaches, officials and sports administrators working in clubs, community groups, governing bodies, sports forums, and local authorities. The initial course will last for nine months with a further nine months of mentoring support.

In its debut year, Rise will be for females in the Derry & Strabane, Causeway Coast and Mid Ulster Council areas.

The blended schedule, consisting of three in person sessions out of nine, allows each participant to work and focus on their own development, whilst learning from others and hearing about their experiences of leadership.

The expression of interest window will close on Monday 8th January 2024 with the first session taking place in person on Saturday 3rd February 2024.
