Summary
Description
Young Lifters Leaders is a mentoring programme for 12–25 year olds in Renfrewshire, developing confident, capable youth coaches through structured strength training education. Participants progress from learners to leaders, gaining accredited knowledge, hands-on coaching experience, and transferable skills in communication, leadership, and safeguarding. We remove barriers to entry by providing free access to training, mentoring, and qualifications. Young people designed this programme, telling us they wanted peer-led opportunities and pathways into fitness careers. With the funding, we will train 20 young leaders across all secondary schools, creating a sustainable pipeline of youth coaches serving our local community.
