Meet the REACH Youth Task Force!

The REACH Project achieved its most exciting milestone to date: meeting the newly formed REACH Youth Task Force!

On 28 July, the project partners held an introductory meeting to get to know the Youth Task Force representatives selected through open call applications between May and July 2025. This group is the cornerstone of the REACH Project!

These 15 members embody a diverse force of young leaders from Ireland, France, Japan, Estonia, Italy, Canada, Slovenia, Morocco, and Ukraine. Over the next 16 months, they will co-create solutions, strengthen inclusion, and champion youth leadership through practical experience, capacity-building, and collaboration. The Youth Task Force will culminate its REACH journey with the design, management and implementation of 9 fully funded Community Actions addressing social impact and Sport for All empowerment. We can’t wait to know more about these projects in the coming months!
