What is Take the Lead?

• The Take the Lead Program provides support for Albertan girls and women to become experienced leaders in sport and recreation.
• Applicants can apply for support with costs associated with training, course fees, professional development, professional certification, clinics, equipment, travel, lodging, meals, and other training related activities. We follow AGLC guidelines for these eligible expenses.
