SIGA established the SIGA Youth Council (SYC) in 2020 to engage today’s youth in its reform agenda and as part of its drive for Good Governance in Sport.
Applications are now open for the Second Class of Future Leaders to build upon the fantastic foundations laid by the inaugural group.
Open to all Young people from the ages of 18-29, the SYC provides a unique platform for aspiring young leaders to join SIGA’s global movement and have their voices heard in respect of issues related to Sport Integrity.
