Sports Volunteering and Leadership Academy
The Sports Volunteering and Leadership Academy provides you with the opportunity and incentives to become involved in the local area through coaching and volunteering.
As part of the programme you will be signed up to the Youth Sports Trust Step into Sport Volunteer Passport Scheme. This is an online database onto which you log your volunteering hours and work towards a nationally recognised qualification.
Also as part of the programme you will receive incentives throughout your volunteering experience that relate to the numbers of hours you volunteer. An initial starter pack includes a Nike t-shirt that is to be worn when volunteering. As you progress more items of clothing become available, as shown below:
- Bronze - 50 hours volunteering - Free Polo-shirt
- Silver - 75 hours volunteering - Free Sweatshirt
- Gold - 100 hours volunteering - Free Rain jacket or tracksuit
You may already have a volunteer placement set up that you attend every week, but if not the College will help as much as it can by finding placements through its partners such as the Chesterton School Sport Partnership, County Sports Partnership, Coalfield Regeneration Programme and local universities.
Three of the Colleges students have recently been selected to take part in prestigious national sports volunteering programmes. Click here to find out more.
