Take the Lead
Take the Lead is a new partnership between Sports Leaders UK and Youth Scotland and aims to increase the range of personal development and leadership opportunities available to young people across Scotland.
The project will provide young people in community settings with access to a range of courses which build confidence, develop leadership skills and provide progression routes into further training and delivery.
We will be providing training directly to young people and will also train workers to enable them to deliver the Sports Leaders UK programmes directly to young people.
Phase 1 of the programme includes the following training opportunities for young people and workers:
Day Certificate
The Day Certificate is a hands-on, practical and fun course which provides a good introduction to leadership.
Direct training for young people is divided into 8 small and simple sections of work and covers skills including communication for sport, taking control of a group and organisation.
We are also providing training for workers, which will enable workers to themselves deliver the Sports Leaders UK Day Certificate to young women themselves.
