Volunteers
Without the volunteer coaches, team managers, administrators and 'on-the-day support, the 'I love me' Greater Manchester Youth Games would cease to function.
Volunteers are a vital part of the Games, in the run-up to the event, on the day and after the Games has finished. They are the people behind the scenes that make sure we can deliver a Games that is second to none.
We need volunteers for a variety of roles on the day, and if you are interested in making a real difference in sport, please do not hesitate to contact Jill Mayers, Volunteer Development Officer on 0161 223 1002 or jillm@greatersport.co.uk for more information.
If you are a company or organisation that runs a volunteer scheme, where you release employees to be engaged in their community, please click here for more details on in-kind and volunteer support.
