Community Sports Hub

The Umoja Community Sports Hub, based at the Umoja Centre, operates under an Asset Based Community Sports Development approach, promoting collaboration with local sports leaders and organizations to ensure activities are community-led and sustainable.

​

This approach aims to unite community members, Umoja youth, schools, and other organizations through sports, fostering social cohesion and mutual respect across diverse demographics in our culturally rich environment. By involving youth in regular sports activities led by local leaders, the Hub promotes physical health, life skills such as teamwork and discipline, and leadership development crucial for personal and professional success.

​

After-school sports sessions enhance holistic student development, improving cognitive function and academic performance. Moreover, by engaging out-of-school youth in positive activities and connecting them with community role models, the Sports Hub helps mitigate risky behaviours and empowers youth, aligning with principles of inclusion and social development.
