GreaterSport is part of a North West programme run by Sports Volunteers North West that aims to encourage and support young people to volunteer in sport. This is done by
- promoting volunteering to young people to attract them to the programme
- supporting young people to identify appropriate support in placements (mentors and volunteer co-ordinators)
- supporting the placement to manage and support volunteers effectively.
There are two programmes that will run until 31st March 2008 which form part of the North West Young Volunteers in Sport programme - Millennium Volunteers and Step into Sport (this will continue beyond this date)
Through effective management and support of volunteers at an early age we can help set the habit of lifelong involvement in sport and physical activity.
