YouVolunteer

YouVolunteer is an exciting 3 year project to build the capacity of the volunteer workforce in State Sporting Associations and their clubs, and engage young people in varied roles within sport.

The project will link young people (aged 14-24) with volunteering opportunities in sport and associated clubs. We are proud to announce we are currently working with Swimming WA, WA Football, WA Cricket, Athletics West and Netball WA for Year 2. We look forward to working with more sports over the next couple of years.

YouVolunteer will have key focus areas with the ultimate outcome being the provision of inclusive, safe and accessible volunteering opportunities for young people within the sport sector.

All YouVolunteer roles are designed for young people to be appropriate, accessible and safe and have been informed by the:

• Sport Volunteering National Plan
• Sport Volunteer Coalition Action Plan
• National Strategy for Volunteering
• SportWest True Sport Initiative

The State Government through the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport is a major supporter of the YouVolunteer initiative in Western Australia.
