Leadership Academy

 

Leadership Academies  are designed to provide high quality support and development for young leaders and volunteers aged 14-19 that are committed to actively volunteering within their school and/or community settings. 

 

Delivered through the network of School Sport Partnerships with the support of the County Sports Partnership network, a Leadership Academy is an out of school hours regular opportunity in which young people can develop their leadership skills and be supported to be deployed in a wide range of opportunities as active volunteers.

 

Jim Morris, FESCo, for Stafford and Stone School Sport Partnership is responsible for the development of the Academy and communication within the relevant networks including the County Sports Partnership.

 

 

In essence Leadership Academies:-

• Signpost to or deliver appropriate qualifications and awards for young leaders to support their volunteering.
• Provide opportunities for young leaders to learn from their peers.
• Share with young leaders a wide menu of volunteering opportunities (in school sport, in community clubs, events and organisations) and prepare and support them to undertake appropriate placements and volunteer experiences.
• Provide mentoring support to young leaders on a group and an individual basis.
• Celebrate, profile and reward the contribution that Young Leaders make to school and community sport.
