4. Aim & Objectives
• Aim: To involve the whole community, not just the
youngsters, in actively participating in the development and
progression of the Mini and Junior Section
• Objectives: Empower mums and dads, care givers, and the
extended family to take on particular roles in the section
• To create and increase participation
• To address social exclusion
• To create healthy lifestyles through healthy shopping and
cooking and educate the young people (and as an aside,
adults) in the value of keeping fit
• To build character and self respect through team play

5. Empowerment
• Empowerment is an enigma
• Organizational empowerment includes shared
leadership, opportunities to develop skills, self
expansion, and effective community influence
• Empowerment (in our case) represents an
interaction between individuals and
environments that is culturally and
contextually defined.
