Young Volunteers Project

The West Midland region has established a project to get young people to help within its swimming clubs.  The Young Volunteers Project offers a programme of courses such as the Poolside Helper course, a timekeeper course, a young aquatic organiser award and also a team manager training course.  All designed to encourage volunteering within a swimming club.  Details are in this leaflet, and should you wish to enrol on the programme, please fill in your details and then return it to me by Friday 22nd January at the latest.  I will then collate the registration forms and forward them together and then ideally all the Stratford Sharks volunteers can attend the training courses together.  My understanding is that you do not have to commit to attending all the courses, but you are encouraged to attend all those that you are able to.  As the leaflet details, once you have registered they send you the details to be able to book onto the relevant courses. 

This is an ideal opportunity as the places are funded by the region rather than the swimming club or the individual. In addition to that it is an ideal opportunity for those wanting to gain extra qualifications particularly within the P.E. environment and/or those undertaking Duke Of Edinburgh Awards, or just to further your experience.
