Investors Group Community Coaching Conferences Grants
CAC, through the sponsorship of Investors Group Inc., is pleased to provide financial assistance (from $600 to $1,200) to communities and organizations interested in hosting a Community Coaching Conference.

Community Coaching Conferences are intended to both promote and supplement the National Coaching Certification Program. They offer an ideal opportunity for

– coach education – informative sessions on sport skills/techniques, coaching resources, and topics of general interest
– coach networking – a social environment whereby participants can meet other coaches in the community to exchange experiences and ideas
– community involvement – participation from all levels of sport, especially grassroots coaches and administrators.

If your organization is planning to host a conference this year, click here to learn how you can receive up to $1,200 to cover your expenses.
