The Northern Territory Government is providing free workshops to help develop the skills and knowledge of committee members and administrators within the sport and active recreation community.

Various workshops run by professional providers are being held in Darwin and Alice Springs from March 8-April 4.

Sport and Recreation Executive Director Phillip Leslie said anyone involved in a sporting or active recreation organisation in the Northern Territory is encouraged to participate.

“The workshops will inspire new ideas and help participants to take on challenges in their roles and assist them to build capacity, capability and sustainability in their organisations,” said Mr Leslie.

“Having access to free training run by professionals who are leading educators in their field is an amazing opportunity and we hope the sport and recreation community take the opportunity to attend the workshops.

“Whether you are a new volunteer or have been part of a committee for years, we are confident there will be a workshop on offer that will give you fresh ideas and information to assist you in your role.”

Specific topics have been chosen to reflect the training needs identified through feedback provided by clubs participating in  STARCLUBNT. The STARCLUB program provides clubs and active recreation organisations with tools and resources to help foster continuous improvement and identify opportunities for ongoing development.
