The Young Volunteers programme is aimed at 16-24 year olds who want to volunteer their time in sport for the benefit of others. The young volunteer programme supports young people volunteering in a range of activities, which contribute to the development of sport.

The main focus of the project is to support as many young volunteers as possible to complete 200 hours of voluntary activity connected to sport. Activities such as planning, coaching, travelling and training are all included in your volunteer hours counting towards your final 200-hour tally.

There are numerous benefits for you the volunteer for being involved in the programme:

• Chance to develop skills, e.g. communication, leadership and organisation
• Build your confidence
• Sense of achievement
• New experience and job opportunities
• Developing your CV
• Direct links to further opportunities to gain experience and awards in sport
