Abstract
The NRL’s Pacific Outreach Program is a three-way partnership between the Australian Government (represented by the DFAT), the Samoan Government (represented by the National Department of Education), and the Australian Rugby League Commission (represented by the NRL). In Samoa the program is delivered as ‘League for Life’, which encapsulates the essence of the overarching aims. The program is a result of a comprehensive program design process, strategically formulated to contribute to development outcomes. Initially the program only existed in Papua New Guinea, however it has now been introduced in Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. The program aims in each location are dependent on the unique contextual issues that are present and are tailored to foster relevant development outcomes. In Samoa, this program development has included the launch of the Beyond the Goalpost program to develop female youth leadership.
