Facilitate proces

SCORE works with volunteers and assigns them based on their expertise to promote their home community build capacity. The volunteers work alongside paid staff members responsible for long-term ties with the community. The success, scope and durability of such capacity depends on the community itself and on the athletes involved. SCORE aims to facilitate the process.

Assessment

SCORE's contribution starts with a 'participatory needs assessment', which is an inventory of community needs and member participation. The actual partnership depends on the current stage of the community.

Four stages

SCORE recognises 4 stages of capacity-building:

1. access through awareness and sports activities
2. skills-building - workshops and training sessions that enhance sports skills (as players, trainers or referees), life skills (communication and self-assertion sessions, healthcare information) and leadership and management skills (sports administration, application procedures, financial management)
3. building sports organisations and sports structures
4. building a support network (partnerships).
