Do you want to develop your skills as a sports leader? 

The aim of the Rise Leadership & Volunteering Programme is to recruit, develop and deploy volunteers aged 13-25 to assist with the delivery of sporting events, and to support other young people to be active by creating and encouraging physical activity in their school or community.

The programme will be delivered by knowledgeable and experienced coaches and athletes – consisting of a series of pre-recorded online sessions – and will go live each month from February, concluding with a celebration event in the summer months.

The first two sessions entitled ‘start of the journey’ and ‘understanding the participants’, will be premiered via the Rise Youtube channel in February and will be presented by Commonwealth Games Gold medal-winning gymnast, Craig Heap. Young people taking part will be sent links to the videos each month.

There will also be a range of additional training sessions, providing the young people with further knowledge to support their learning from the online sessions.
