A series of fun, interactive workshops explore everything from organising the best money spinners to strengthening relationships in your clubs. Each is around 1.5 to two hours long, but is designed to be flexible to suit your own club.
The sessions must be delivered by an accredited trainer and registered with the training officer at NFYFC. Trainers are provided with a guide to delivering the training, and all the resources needed for a fun, informative session within your club programme including a certificate of completion. PLUS all trainers could be in with a chance of winning the prestigious Top Trainer Award at the NFYFC AGM!
