Background
Many young people in underserved communities lack access to structured leadership opportunities. Without guidance, their potential to lead, organise, and positively influence peers often goes unrealised.

Challenge
Participants showed limited confidence, low exposure to leadership roles, and minimal experience in managing teams or activities.

Altus Sport Intervention
Through the Leadership Club, Altus Sport introduced a structured programme combining sport participation with leadership development. Participants engaged in:

• Facilitating group activities
• Organising mini sporting events
• Learning about inclusion, safety, and responsibility
• Developing communication and teamwork skills

Outcome

• Noticeable increase in confidence and self-expression
• Participants successfully led peer activities and events
• Improved teamwork and accountability
• Greater awareness of inclusive practices, including gender equality

Impact
The Leadership Club is building a pipeline of young community leaders who are not only active in sport but also equipped to guide and inspire others.
