How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Inclusive, Open-Access Participation Model
    methodology: inclusive_access_model
    By welcoming new members at any point in the season and hosting skill-level-specific events, the club increases participation and retention because lowering structural and experiential barriers enables broader community engagement, especially among novice curlers.
  • Member-Driven Facility Development
    methodology: member_funded_infrastructure
    By relying on member-funded land acquisition and construction to establish and maintain curling facilities, the club ensures long-term sustainability and local ownership because community investment fosters commitment and reduces dependency on external venues.
  • Peer-to-Peer Learning Model
    methodology: peer_to_peer_learning
    By facilitating knowledge sharing among participants during game scenario discussions, the club enhances skill acquisition and retention because peer interaction fosters experiential learning and lowers barriers to engagement for new curlers.
