The Kaiviti Silktails have launched a community youth program in honour of late Football Manager Jacquie Shannon.
This was inspired by the club’s long-standing partnership with PCYC New South Wales in Sydney, where the team is based.
The Silktails joined with the NRL’s VET Pathways team and Australian-based employment, training, and community services provider VERTO, to launch a vocational Certificate IV Youth Work program with 30 Silktails squad members.
The players will work for this program this year, delivering 20-30 hours a week of youth work to balance out with their training commitments.
Yesterday the club officially unveiled the logo for the program.
The logo design includes Shannon’s silhouette as a tribute to her valuable contribution to the club.
Shannon played an integral part in the establishment of the Kaiviti Silktails RLFC in 2020.
