• Learn from experienced sports leaders, with guest speakers sharing their knowledge, experiences and insights to inspire discussion.
• Gain a recognised qualification, achieving an SCQF Level 5 qualification in Working with Young People in Sport.
• Build connections and share experiences by networking with other Future Leaders throughout the programme.
• Help shape the future of curling by contributing ideas and supporting the development of the sport at a national level.
