Movember Ahead of the Game (MAOTG) is an evidence-based mental health literacy and resilience program for young community footballers and umpires (12-18 years), parents, coaches and volunteers around Australia.
Together we are looking for organisations in WA/SA to add to our passionate and capable national network of program delivery partners. If you are interested in working with the AFL and Movember on this global initiative, your organisation could become a program delivery partner and help support youth mental health through the power of football.
We will equip you with program materials, facilitator training and funding to deliver the program to your football community. If your organisation works with young people, or has experience delivering youth mental health programs, or has strong relationships with community football clubs and leagues, the AFL and Movember would love to hear from you.
Why become an MAOTG delivery partner?
1. Payment to deliver a set number of contracted sessions. Create community impact while having funding certainty.
2. An evidence-based program added to your portfolio of community offerings, with an opportunity to showcase your organisation’s proven impact to your own funders.
3. An easily implemented program which includes:
- Thorough and ongoing training and support for your program facilitators.
- All required materials to deliver the program.
- A delivery partner framework with clear guidance and support for processes, systems, and delivery.
- Access to and support from other core program elements provided by Movember and the AFL (i.e., youth mental health experts, training, global evaluation feedback etc.)
4. The opportunity to broaden local reach and connections to community football and other local stakeholders and provide a program to communities/clubs.
5. Permission to use AFL and Movember branding alongside your own brands (in strict accordance with contractual guidelines).
6. Invaluable networks and connections – delivery partners will be connected to a national and global network of other delivery partners, implementation partners, evaluation partners, media partners and others offering opportunities for growth and development of your organisation
Together we will strengthen the mental health and resilience of young people and their communities through the power of sport.
