AFL COMMUNITY CONNECT
AFL Community Connect is more than just footy - it’s about building a sense of belonging and connection. These locally led programs are co-designed with families, community organisations, and councils to ensure every session is meaningful, culturally safe and welcoming.
Through AFL Community Connect, children and families from all backgrounds can have a go, make new friends, and feel at home - whether trying footy for the first time or coming back with mates.
PLACE-BASED APPROACH
Programs will be delivered via a place-based approach to help address issues and take advantage of opportunities within a specific geographic area through a spirit of collaboration and capacity building to drive sustainable, community-led change by:
- Engaging community members and local organisations.
- Utilising local knowledge in the process of co-design.
- Tailoring solutions to the unique needs and context of the place.
- Adopting a shared decision making and stewardship approach.
