Multicultural Women's Sport Leaders program

NSW Sport and Recreation is running the Multicultural
Womens Sports Leaders program in October 2009.

This program has been designed to enable women from
multicultural backgrounds to gain skills and knowledge
to assist others in their communities to become more
involved in sporting and physical activities. 

Previous programs have been highly successful and
allowed participants the opportunity to gain very
useful skills and establish valuable networks with
others working in sport and recreation in the
community.

The course covers sports administration and leadership
and is offered to all successful applicants free of
charge.
