Ally as a verb not a noun

About

You can't call yourself an ally unless someone from an underrepresented group says you are. And for that to happen you must have taken some meaningful action towards creating inclusion. In this FREE webinar we will discuss what allyship looks like in a sporting context, for clubs, associations, volunteers and players. You will be empowered to notice the barriers that exist for others and then explore specific examples and tips to removing those barriers for good.

Presented in partnership with Bree Gorman Consulting
