COACH ABROAD isn't just about charity, it's about sustainable development.
We focus on social sports projects with dedicated sports volunteers who empower local coaches and build a foundation for lasting positive change. By selecting suitable sports volunteers through questionnaires and interviews, we ensure maximum benefit for both volunteers and projects.
We are committed to driving positive change through sport and look forward to working with people who share our passion for empowering communities and individuals through sport.
COACH ABROAD has experience of collaborating with local and international volunteers in sport and youth development projects. We have worked in the development sector for many years and are as familiar with volunteering as we are with project and programme management.
We understand the holistic needs of both the volunteers we support and the projects we work with. We want to use this understanding to bring people together through sport, breaking down prejudice and promoting integration and education.
COACH ABROAD creates alternatives
Our mission is to create new opportunities in disadvantaged communities through sport.
We support community-based organisations in their efforts to instil and develop essential values in local children and young people through sport. These include tolerance and fairness, cohesion, perseverance and assertiveness. The aim is also to promote the will to achieve, the spirit of competition and the development of willpower.
Above all, of course, there is the enjoyment of sport and physical activity as part of a team.
COACH ABROAD supports people
We want to support community projects through skilled and beneficial volunteer programmes.
We want to inspire people in local projects to make a positive difference in their communities through the sport they are most passionate about. We support them to do this with external help and input.
With this help for self-help, they can achieve more for themselves and their communities, pass on their knowledge and create sustainable positive value.
COACH ABROAD builds relationships and connects cultures
We match local sports projects and volunteers.
We showcase sports activities and enable volunteers to find projects that best match their interests and skills. We help volunteers and sports initiatives to find each other in order to achieve maximum and sustainable benefit for the local community.
We are driven by the desire to support people directly at grassroots level.
Working closely with volunteers and project mentors not only strengthens local projects, but also promotes mutual learning and development. A fresh look at new ways of working and living benefits both mentors and local youth, as well as the volunteers themselves. By living directly with host families, daily experiences, adventures and challenges become tangible and sharpen each other’s view of different cultures and perspectives.
