We recognise the importance of young people gaining ‘leadership’ qualifications but putting the skills into practice is of equal, if not of more importance. Through the Active Mentoring programme, young people are provided with the opportunity to be mentored and supported by CSN Sport for Development (S4D) Facilitators in actual community settings and experiencing the challenges of working with different age groups and community backgrounds.
