Volunteer Opportunities
Step Into Sport
The main aim of Step into Sport is to encourage more young people to become involved in sport in their local community. Step into Sport concentrates on training new volunteers, aged between 14 years and 19 years.
Step into Sport builds on existing structures and programmes such as Junior Sports Leaders Award and Community Sports Leader Award to encourage and generate greater volunteer links between schools and clubs.
