Peru Sports Leadership Challenge
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
We believe that the best way to achieve positive change is by providing the next generation with access to quality education.
In Peru, many schools face ongoing challenges such as underfunding and limited access to quality sports education and practical learning opportunities. These barriers have affected student engagement, wellbeing, and physical development at our local partner schools. As we work to strengthen sports education and create more inclusive, active learning environments, your skills, knowledge, and passion play a vital role in making a lasting impact.
Making an Impact
Inspire the next generation of changemakers!
Education builds the foundation of what we do across our Global Community. By introducing quality sports education, we hope to inspire a new generation of leaders amongst the local community. Supported by our team on the ground, you’ll get to work on a range of awesome long-term education projects, some of which include:
Designing and facilitating sports activities at our local partner school to help the development of key life skills such as teamwork, communication and leadership!
Promoting gender equality through sports education!
Organising a school sports day to bring the community together!
