Online Training to become a Certified Leader with Girls on Boards
- Published: March 25 2022 14:02
GIrls on Boards is a non-profit organization, started in Wolfville, Nova Scotia but now expanding across Canada. We offer body positive, recreation empowerment programs for youth in stand up paddle boarding, skateboarding and snowboarding.
We've created an immersive online training program that we would love to offer to leaders on your team so they can bring these programs to your community.
We've proven this concept is simple yet effective in engaging the community, inspiring youth with activity and body positive movement and also aligns with many municipal recreation programs plus most of our programs fill very quickly so we know they are popular!
Here are the main links for your reference:
- Girls on Boards website (registered nonprofit since 2017)
- Information about our Online Certified Leader's Training Program (~12hrs, $199.00)
If you have a group of summer employees that would like to take this training together, we have group discounts, please ask! Mia Lockhart, Director:

We invite you to fill out and share our survey to help us understand how racism and discrimination exist and are experienced across the sector.
You can find the survey here: https://www.recreationns.ns.ca/survey.html
