KJO Club Development aim's to help clubs improve their capacity and capability to deliver a diverse range of paddle sport activities to there members. The aim is met by providing a support service with an emphasis on promoting continuous improvement.

This aim is met by us following these service goals:

• Increase awareness of possibilities through paddlesports.
• Provide guidance on development plans and program.
• Provide help in developing a Mission and Vision.
• Support and planning in development of coaches.
• Seek funding opportunities to allow access to expanded development opportunities.
• Provide external opportunities for canoeing activity.

Club active fits perfectly into our ethos as it is all about Clubs and KJO working together in partnership. The program focuses on development through recognising where a club is and what their members want to achieve. KJO act as a professional body offering advice and enhancement through our knowledge, understanding, experience and courses. Our level of support is based on Club Active membership levels. There are three of these: Gold, Silver and Bronze. Getting things running is easy.
