Schools -
Take the Lead!®
|
|
Prairie Central District in partnership with the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association are looking for
schools
that are interested in:
Take the Lead!®
Take the Lead!® is a program focused on fostering leadership skills in youth aged 11-14. Our youth know how to play best! Utilizing Take the Lead!® resources and training, youth can practice leading active play opportunities, providing more physical activity opportunities for their peers. Because of Take the Lead!® training, we are confident that these same youth will later draw upon these skills as they reinvest in our communities.
Program Outcomes:
- Youth leaders (ages 11 – 14) demonstrate leadership qualities and self-confidence
- Children are physically active for a minimum of 30 minutes per day in the school environment, to help achieve the goal of 60-90 minutes of physical activity per day
- There are safe active play areas for children
- Increased time dedicated to active, fun play during school recess, noon hour and the after school time period
- Strengthened capacity of schools and communities to support physical activity for children
Contact Bonnie Wohlberg, Community Consultant at
bonnie.pcdscr@sasktel.net
to start the conversation on how we can work together to get this program in your school.
