Project GOLD's program is structured across 5 Components, each drawing on a different sport to teach life lessons in an engaging, memorable way. Sessions run over 8 weeks, led by national champion athletes who serve as living proof that goals are reachable.
Aim High,
Setting Life Goals!
Using the sport of Netball to teach young people to assess their skillset, talents and interests — then aim high and work toward a meaningful goal.
Led by a National Netballer, this component begins the journey of self-discovery. Participants explore who they are, how they see themselves, and how they treat others — the foundation of every great athlete and great person.
"Chill n' Chat" Topics
- W1 Self-Development — Who Am I? How do I feel about myself? What do I see when I look in the mirror? How do we treat others?
- W2 Personal Hygiene, Dress & Deportment, First Aid, CPR
9:30am Activity → 10:00am Chill n' Chat → 11:00am Main Focus → 12:00pm Sport + Refreshment → 2:00pm Wrap-up
Run Your
Own Race!
Track & Field techniques help participants understand that life is a constant race — and success means running your own race, in your own lane, at your own pace.
Participants explore the activities and subjects they're good at, identify their strengths and are encouraged to stay focused on their own path without being derailed by peer pressure or comparison.
"Chill n' Chat" Topics
- W3 Planning for my Future — Integrity and Personal Success
- W4 Significance of School and Life Achievement
Lick It Fi Six!
Cricket analogies teach participants to put their best foot forward at all times — whatever the situation, play your best innings and knock it out of the park.
Led by a National Cricketer, participants learn that every moment in life is an opportunity to score — to perform, to excel, to push their limits regardless of the obstacles they face.
"Chill n' Chat" Topics
- W5 Family Life, Peer Pressure, Dealing with Differences, Anger Management, Conflict Resolution
- W6 Gender & Sexuality, Teenage Pregnancy
Score It!
Football techniques — shift, defend, pass, score — teach participants to make every effort count even when facing life's biggest obstacles.
Led by a National Footballer, this component tackles the hardest topics: crime, violence, gangs and drugs. Participants learn that they have a choice — and the courage to make the right one.
"Chill n' Chat" Topics
- W7 Crime & Violence — Does It Have a Place in My Community? Youth Violence
- W8 Escaping Gangs and Drugs — Career Choices, Opportunities & Success Stories
The Cheerleaders!
Supporting the adults who support the youth — parents, guardians, coaches and community influencers.
Parent & Guardian Workshops
A 5-day intensive workshop series delivered through a collaboration with the Business Entrepreneurial Empowerment Programme (BEEP), covering parenting skills, family life, entrepreneurship and financial literacy.

- Positive Youth Development (PYD) Methodology
