The aim of the programme is to provide training and support to women to help them achieve success in leadership roles in their sport. It will give women and young girls across Donegal the opportunity to enhance personal skills, increase their confidence and create networks with like-minded people across different sports.
Sessions will be delivered using a combination of both online and in person settings. The sessions will be interactive which will focus on developing confidence, leadership, resilience and effective communication.
The programme is specifically designed for female leaders over 16 years old working or volunteering in sport (Committee members, officials, coaches) and to those who want to pursue a future role in club activities.
Places will be offered via application process and as the course is heavily subsidised through Sport Ireland Dormant Accounts, we are able to offer it at 30 Euro per participant. Application deadline is:
