Project Description
Claire’s grant plan is to encourage athletes who aren’t participating in competitions or want to be more involved in Special Olympics to get involved in leadership roles in their clubs. She will do this by co-presenting the core module Understanding Leadership as a workshop to athletes from all regions in Special Olympics Ireland. Her aim is to increase the number of athletes who understand the possibility of a leadership role across Special Olympics Ireland. Claire hopes to gain leadership skills and experience by planning and organizing the program.
