Building the future of youth engagement in sport for all

The REACH project is an initiative designed to empower young people across Europe and beyond by increasing their participation in volunteer, leadership, and decision-making roles within the Sport for All movement. Through the creation of a Youth Task force, REACH provides young people aged 18-30 with opportunities to take on leadership roles and become change agents in their communities.

The REACH project aims to:

• Understand the needs and expectations of young people (18-30 years old) in Sport for All.
• Gather and analyze data on youth engagement to shape future strategies and policies.
• Empower youth and organizations through capacity-building initiatives.
• Create platforms that support youth-led, innovative Sport for All programs.
• Establish “Youth for Youth” mentorship programs to foster peer-to-peer learning.
• Develop a sustainable, replicable model for long-term youth engagement.

Through hands-on learning and strategic collaboration, the REACH project will deliver tangible tools and frameworks to enhance youth engagement in Sport for All including:

• Literature Review – Mapping existing youth engagement strategies in Sport for All.
• Analysis of Sport for All organizations’ policies on youth engagement.
• Youth Engagement Charter for Sport for All organizations, alongside a Mentorship Charter.
• Enhanced CLC modules strengthening youth-focused capacity building.
• Collection of good practices from 9 Community Actions.
