How to Apply for Organization Partner

at Swift Sports Organisation

🏢 About Swift Sports Organisation

Swift Sports Organisation uniquely combines sports talent development with poverty alleviation, specifically targeting single mothers, disadvantaged girls, and children in Uganda. Unlike traditional sports organizations, they focus on practical skilling through their Recreation Center, creating sustainable empowerment pathways. Working here means directly contributing to community transformation through an innovative sports-for-development model.

About This Role

As an Organization Partner, you'll work directly with the executive team to implement programs that discover and develop sports talent while establishing the Swift Recreation Center for practical skilling. This role is impactful because you'll help build the operational foundation for empowering vulnerable groups through both sports and vocational training, directly supporting the mission to fight poverty through talent development.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning coordination with the executive team on organizational priorities, followed by program implementation activities like talent identification sessions or skills training workshops at community sites. Afternoons could focus on Recreation Center development tasks, stakeholder meetings with community partners, and documentation of program impacts for reporting purposes.
