\n\t\t\tMiriam Jamal\t<\/h5>\n
\n\t\t\tProgram Specialist\t<\/h5>\n\t

For the past six years, Miriam has had the absolute joy of guiding young athletes and their families through the application process to secure funding for their registration and or equipment fees. In her role at KidSport Ontario, she works directly sports clubs across Ontario and attends fundraising events to raise awareness of the grant program available for sports participation. As a child who once relied on her community to support her participation in soccer and volleyball, she is forever in pursuit of supporting under-resourced athletes to experience the benefits of sports.<\/p>\n
