Nominations for the 2025 Athlete Leadership Programme are now open through until Friday 30 August and we invite all Clubs, athletes and whānau to consider this great opportunity and nominate any athlete you think is well suited and ready for this next step in their development.
This programme is specifically developed to ensure our athletes learn, succeed and are challenged – links to an outline of the programme, selection criteria and the nomination/application forms are below, noting the forms can be either downloaded and be completed by hand or can be completed in the digital form – depending on what suits you best.
The role of the athlete mentors can not be understated and are a critical part of this process.
Please take the time to have a look through and if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact Events Director Liz Fitzgerald via events@specialolympics.org.nz
We look forward to working with another group of our fantastic athletes to develop their leadership skills and strengthen their contribution to Special Olympics in New Zealand
