For Organizations
You choose your people. NWANA helps fund and provide their Nordic Walking education.
What NWANA Is — and Isn't — Offering
NWANA is not asking your organization to create a new medical, rehabilitation or social program. NWANA does not manage your clinical decisions, your programs, or your audience.
NWANA offers education and capacity-building: we help fund and deliver Nordic Walking instructor training for people you nominate — your staff, professionals, coaches or volunteers. They stay in your organization. You decide how the training is used within the programs you already operate.
✅ You keep control
Who gets nominated. How the training is used. Program format. Your professional standards and policies.
✅ You keep your people
Nominees remain your staff. Training adds a skill to your existing team — it doesn't remove anyone.
✅ Funded or subsidized
Challenge fundraising creates training capacity. Your organization can request funded seats.
