JU:MP Leads programme updates
What's this workstream about?
The JU:MP Leads programme aims to identify, train and support local young people aged 16 – 25 years from the JU:MP area to become physical activity leaders (JU:MP Leads) in their community. The aim is to develop dynamic and inspirational local leaders who can be positive peers and contribute to the development of sustainable activity creating a legacy in the JU:MP area. The project gives young people the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications in sports and physical activity that will equip them to engage in active children and families in informal activities such as multi-sports and street games. The JU:MP Leads have been recruited to be representative of the community they serve with a focus on young adults from BAME communities and women and girls, as they are underrepresented in the field of sports and physical activity leadership.
The JU:MP Leads programme was commissioned first in 2019 -21 and Bradford Youth Service trained ten 16-25 year olds from diverse backgrounds to become young leaders in sport and physical activity.
