Former NRL legends are teaming up to revolutionise school holiday programs in Logan.
The players will be leading a new program called The Great Project, part of KRANK! holiday program, aiming to teach life skills to youth in a fun and supportive sporting environment.
Program leaders include Zeb Taia, who played for the Parramatta Eels, Newcastle Knights and the Gold Coast Titans in the NRL, the Catalans Dragons and St Helens in the Super League, and also internationally for both New Zealand and the Cook Islands.
Also taking part in The Great Project is former Canberra Raider and Gold Coast Titans player, and current Burleigh Bears player, Jeff Lynch.
KRANK! will also be getting almost 40 extra activities running from Saturday, June 24 to Sunday, July 9.
This includes a three-day ROIL Graffiti Street Art Project which teaches teens the foundations of graffiti and street art.
Lifestyle Chair Councillor Tony Hall said the KRANK program featured an extensive range of boredom-busting activities.
“There is everything on offer from active, outdoor activities to indoor options to meet everyone’s different interests,” Cr Hall said.
“Of special interest are the instructional sessions which teach participants new skills from skateboarding and wakeboarding to playing the ukulele and even the art of coffee making.”
