Two Fir Vale students (Y11) have been selected to join Sheffield Academy of Young Leaders in recognition of their commitment and contribution as volunteers with the School Sport Partnership in our local area.
Ummesalama Hassanali and Xantha Palmer now have the opportunity to volunteer at major sporting events, work with community sports clubs and be able to take advantage of free training.
This is all great news and supports the future careers of these young people.
“It’s an amazing opportunity to improve leadership skills. Working with younger students in the primary schools to help accelerate their sporting activities is very rewarding,” said Ummesalama.
Xanthe says,
“Being part of the young community encouraging health and fitness is giving us the foundation to build a good background for our academic future.”
