Leadership opportunites for children and young people

Training and support for young people interested in coaching and sports leadership in the Vale of Glamorgan

 

A key priority set out in the Vale Sport and Physical Activity Plan is to develop people who have the knowledge and motivation to deliver fun, quality opportunities.  To help us achieve this, we have developed and implemented a number of programmes to support young leaders to inspire, motivate and deliver oppotunities to other children and young people.

Young Ambassadors Scheme

The Young Ambassadors scheme is designed to build the leadership skills of young people, empowering them to be the youth voice for PE and school sport in their school and community.  The Vale Active Young people team has a pathway for the Young Ambassador programme ranging from Bronze level at primary age, through to Gold level.   

Young Ambassadors will use their roles to Inspire, Influence, Mentor and Lead within their school or community. We will work with young people to support them in their development as confident, motivated, and skilled young Ambassadors.
