We’re excited to be piloting (Phase #3) a youth leadership/ targeted co-curricular programme/ intervention and have resource to deploy this in S. Devon (thinking Torbay/ Plymouth areas).

This has particular local interest as it’s being designed in collaboration with Keira and Phil Whylie out of Teign School.

We’re looking for c. 5 – 8 Secondary Schools, with whom we’ll train a staff member to train (i.e. ‘Train the Trainer’) 4-6 Yr 9-12 students (ideally not ‘Sports Leaders’) by Christmas (pref. as close to Oct ½ Term as possible).

To deliver a ‘big Term’ of multi-sport participation opportunities for c. 15-20 Yr7-8 students by July.

The staff member trained can be any member of staff who can competently deliver physical activity (inc. ECT’s and ‘Out of Dept.’ staff.

This can take form as a ‘breakfast club’ or ‘after-school’ opportunity.

It will be implementing YST’s Youth Leadership Framework and is one of few opportunities that will explicitly measure ‘belonging’ pre- and post- intervention.
