Sport for Life Leader School 2016 open applications

Sport for Life Leaders School (SLS) is entering its fourth year in 2016, and has proven to be a catalyst for learning, growth, and the creation of exciting new projects. The concept is simple: support the personal learning and development of community leaders as they integrate Sport for Life, Long-Term Athlete Development and Physical Literacy into their communities.

Over a one year span, SLS participants will plan, launch and lead individual community projects, guided and mentored by members of the S4L Leadership Group. Each month, SLS will convene for an on-line seminar conducted by leading Canadian sport and community development experts. Participants will take the opportunity to discuss, share and explore ideas and progress on their projects. At the end of the year, the record of each project will become a new contribution to the knowledge of how to advance S4L.

Who can apply?

The SLS is open to anyone with the desire and ability to become a S4L Leader and make an ongoing contribution to the movement. Applicants present a resume and a brief but detailed overview of the proposed project. The SLS participant is the leader of the project in the community, and he or she, either independently or with the support of sponsoring community organizations, provides resources to complete the project. Applications will be assessed based on the quality of the proposed community project, the background of the applicant, and his or her capacity to carry out the project and participate fully in SLS activities.
