Community Programs
Regional Community Program
The Capras Regional Community Program focuses on upskilling, knowledge-sharing, guidance, and support for young men and women throughout Central Queensland.
In partnership with community-focused organisations, our year-round program combines Rugby League with well-being and education initiatives.
Coaches and players from the Capras & NRL deliver a compelling message, aiming not just to create skilled Rugby League players but, more importantly, better individuals committed to reinvesting in their community.
Through strategic partnerships, we conduct various events and programs, including clinics, well-being, and education workshops, and motivational speakers, reaching areas throughout Central Queensland such as Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Gladstone, Calliope, Dawson Valley, Emerald, and Woorabinda.
