FISU Volunteer Leaders Academy

The FISU Volunteer Leaders Academy (FVLA) is a flagship event for FISU and students active in university sport in their country. Held annually, the event brings together more than 100 student leaders from more than 90 countries. The program is delivered in an online format allowing students from across the world to be involved. The program includes webinars, workshops, collaboration and group projects.

Graduates from the FVLA program become FISU student ambassadors and contribute to university sport programs in their home country.

Students must be nominated by their National University Sports Federation to attend.

For more information about FVLA visit the FISU website. If you are interested in being your country’s representative at the next edition of FVLA, contact your National University Sports Federation or email us.
