Position Summary:

As a Sports Program Leader in our Community Connections program, you help create a fun and active environment where participants of all abilities can engage in movement and play sports. Your role is to make sports accessible, encouraging everyone to try new things, build confidence, and enjoy being part of a team. You will be provided with a curriculum but having an ability to adapt activities to fit individual needs is essential. We aim to promote participation from both participants and their support workers. You encourage the idea that everyone has a role to play whether that’s learning a new skill, cheering each other on, or simply giving something a try. Each day begins with a short devotion, and you will need to be comfortable sharing either a simple, encouraging devotional provided, or creating one that shares a message that helps participants see how God is present in everything we do, including sports. Your leadership helps create a space where movement is joyful, inclusive, and rooted in faith, teamwork, and encouragement.
