Student-Athlete Leadership Forum Facilitators

Student-Athlete Leadership Forum Facilitators 2024

Facilitators for the Student-Athlete Leadership Forum (SALF) work closely with participants to provide an engaging programming experience. Facilitators are assigned to lead teams in open dialogue about a wide variety of topics to instill and emphasize themes of personal leadership development. Facilitators at the forum play an integral role in the participant experience, and taking part provides an impactful opportunity to grow as a professional with collegiate athletics.

In order to be eligible to serve as a facilitator at the Student-Athlete Leadership Forum, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Facilitators must have participated in the NCAA Effective Facilitation Workshop.
  • Facilitators must be employed at an NCAA member school, conference office, or the NCAA national office.
Julius Scott Avatar
The SALF program was a holistic experience that challenged me as an administrator to continue to make a daily impact on our student-athletes’ lives. The amount of time and effort you put into this program will directly impact you, and once you complete the journey you will have a life-changing experience that you will never forget. My [Color Team] group was unlike anything I could have imagined. In, three day's we laughed, cried, and became vulnerable with one another. If you are looking for a challenge and want to enhance yourself and those around you, this is the program for you. Julius Scott, Director of Compliance, Queens University of Charlotte

Attendance at the forum is offered at no cost to the participants, NCAA member schools or conference offices. The NCAA covers all facilitator expenses related to travel, ground transportation, lodging and meals.
