The Youth Leadership Certificate is an educational programme run by the EuroHockey Institute dedicated to the next generation of young leaders in the world of hockey.
To create greater purpose the course revolves around a project approach, with each participant bringing forward their own project, that is then shaped and developed through the workshops and delivered on completion of the course.
