What is an

Community Activator Coach?

​

The Community Activator Coach Standard will underpin roles like Activators, Sports Coaches, Activity Leaders, and Community Workers. These professionals are primarily employed in the sport and physical activity sector, working with inactive groups. They promote, deliver, and coach inclusive activities that encourage healthier lifestyles. Community Activator Coaches understand their communities and customers, possessing specialized knowledge to work effectively with various inactive groups. They also know how to improve communities through physical activity, play, and sport. As positive role models, they build rapport with customers, especially those from marginalized communities. This role often involves collaboration with youth workers, police, health workers, and other agencies to create safer and healthier communities.
