 At Young Champs, we want young people to have opportunities not only to take part in activities, but also to develop new skills, gain valuable experience and grow into leadership roles.
Over the past few months, we have been delighted to see a number of our young people and volunteers taking important steps forward in their development. Developing Young Leaders At the end of June, two young people successfully completed the Manchester Sport Leaders Programme, reflecting their commitment to their own development and supporting their progression towards leadership roles within our sessions. Our young volunteers have also continued to play an important part in the programme, with several completing more than 20 hours of volunteering during the quarter. Through volunteering, young people have the opportunity to gain practical experience, improve their communication skills and build confidence while helping to deliver activities for others. As part of their development and to ensure they are properly prepared for their roles, young volunteers are required to complete mandatory training. This includes safeguarding training for working with children, young people and vulnerable adults, First Aid training and an enhanced DBS check. Supporting Individual Progress We are also proud to see individual volunteers progressing in their own development. Jason has successfully completed his First Aid and Safeguarding training and continues to grow in confidence, resilience and engagement through his work with young people. Following his progress, we are now looking at supporting him towards a Level 2 Youth qualification. Another volunteer, who joined the programme following a referral from Manchester Settlement, is also progressing well and working towards their minimum qualifications while continuing to develop their skills and confidence within sessions. Creating Pathways for the Future These achievements are a great example of what we hope to create through Young Champs: opportunities for young people to get involved, discover their abilities and take positive steps towards their future. Whether someone begins by attending an activity, volunteering their time or taking on more responsibility within a session, we want Young Champs to be a place where young people can continue to learn, develop and progress.  Manchester Young Community Champions is proud to be working alongside SLK Sports Group Ltd and The Salam Project on the Second Chance Football Project, supporting footballers aged 18–25 across Greater Manchester and Greater London.
The project is designed for players who may have been released from academies, previously played professionally or semi-professionally, stepped away from the game, recovered from injury, or simply need another opportunity to show what they can do. But the support goes beyond getting back onto the pitch. Through the collaboration, players can access training and playing opportunities, education and employment pathways, work experience, business start-up advice and connections to semi-professional and non-league football. The aim is simple: to recognise untapped potential and help young players take positive steps towards their future, both within football and beyond. Interested in finding out more?
