The Canton of Zurich thanks its Y+S leaders
Since 1972, the national sports promotion program Jugend+Sport has been supporting children and young people – meanwhile in 85 sports. In the canton of Zurich, more than 150,000 children and young people take part in Y+S offers every year. The high-quality training of mostly volunteer leaders and the close cooperation between the federal government, cantons, sports and youth associations make the program unique. In the canton of Zurich, the cantonal sports office is responsible for this. It conducts around 130 training and further education courses every year so that the 12,000 Y+S leaders in Zurich are always up to date.
