Coles has extended its first nations pathways program and support of indigenous aspiring athletes, partnering with the Melbourne Storm to help young Indigenous rugby league players realise their dreams of becoming an NRL player in the future.
The three-year partnership builds on Coles’ indigenous programs and includes support for education, employment and health and wellbeing outcomes.
Storm CEO Justin Rodski said the Storm First Nations Pathway Program provides emerging indigenous talent with the unique opportunity to have a fully immersive experience at the club, focusing on professional and personal development, mentoring, elite training and preparation.
