The BOOST Mentoring Programme is a structured, six-month capacity building initiative from March 2026 until September 2026 that is aimed at empowering emerging leaders and practitioners in the field of sport for social impact (S4SI) across Europe.

​

The programme provides personalized guidance to help entry-level professionals design, refine, develop, or strengthen a concrete project or initiative that uses sport as a tool for positive social change. Plus, it allows them to connect with other inspiring entry- to mid-level sport practitioners and with experienced sport professionals who act as their mentors.

​

Unlike general coaching or generic personal development programmes, BOOST focuses on practical, time-bound, project-oriented learning. It means that a mentee will join the programme with a specific idea, project or challenge or project that they wish to develop. Throughout the mentoring journey, our mentors will accompany them throughout this process, helping them clarify their goals, strengthen their skills, overcome barriers, and translate their vision into tangible actions and results.

​

Through a combination of one-to-one mentoring, group learning moments, online learning, and participation in an international community of peers, the Boost mentoring programme aims to broaden all participants’ competencies, deepen their understanding of the S4SI sector, and expand their professional network. The BOOST experience is designed not only to support and accelerate certain projects or organisations, but also to contribute to all participants’ long-term growth as sport leaders committed to social impact
