The Cumbria Young Volunteers in Sport Programme

Sports Volunteering North West

The Cumbria Young Volunteers in Sport Programme is aimed at 16-25 year olds interested in volunteering in Sport / Physical Activity. If you can spare some time we can find you a place to volunteer which will benefit you as an individual.

Volunteering in Sport / Physical Activity can give you the chance to improve skills, or give you the opportunity to gain experience, which may lead to employment later.  Research has shown that 73% of employers would employ candidates with volunteering experience over one who doesn't.

Cumbria Sport Partnership will support you throughout your placement and an officer will contact you regularly to ensure you are getting the most out of your experience.

£50 of expenses are available to each volunteer for your own personal development. You may wish to use it towards a level one coaching certificate or an officials qualification. You will also recieve incentives from Cumbria Sport when you reach volunteering milestones!

Volunteers can get involved in anything from helping to develop a club website, helping to coach a junior football team to setting up equipment or helping out in the office!

We also have an inclusive volunteer programme, Sports Volunteers Inc, for disabled volunteers. This programme is very similar to the Young Volunteers in Sport Programme, with your placement selected to match your skills and interests. Click here for more information on Sport Volunteers Inc.
