The annual leadership and development program draws participants from across Australian, New Zealand and Japan, providing an opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals who share a passion for making a meaningful impact within the movement.
The week-long intensive program is designed to cultivate leadership skills and foster the development of young leaders aged between 20 and 30 years within the surf life saving movement. Participants will be challenged intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically, with skills gained designed to be taken back to clubs and into other areas of the participants’ daily environments. It includes keynote speakers, elective sessions, activities, and challenges relating to key leadership themes.
SLSWA continues to support WA members’ participation in the NLC by subsidising West Australian representatives.
The program generally runs in Jan/Feb each year, with Expressions of Interest called for around August via SLSA Circular, which is promoted via SLSA and SLSWA social media channels and eNewsletters.
