Sport for Good Cities Emerging Leaders Program Application - 2023

Overview
There is a deep pool of talented, passionate young professionals in the Sport for Good sector, yet not many pipelines devoted to their growth and development. In order to more intentionally cultivate and connect the next generation of diverse leaders, the SfG Cities Emerging Leaders Program--now in its second year--will build professional capacity and skills, foster mentoring and peer relationships, and help propel participants into future leadership positions. We are grateful to have Athletic Brewing as a sponsor of this year’s Sport for Good Cities Emerging Leaders program.

Preference for BIPOC, Sport for Good program alumni, and those with direct service/coaching experience

Goals
