Step into Sport Awards
An important element of Step into Sport Community Volunteering is the Step into Sport Awards. These awards provide an opportunity for you, as a volunteer in your local community, to gain the recognition that you deserve for your valuable contribution to volunteering. There are two ways that Step into Sport Community Volunteering Awards will be presented in 2008/09 which are detailed below.
The Youth Sport Trust recognises your contribution to community volunteering by awarding nationally recognised certificates dependent on the number of hours you volunteer;
Youth Sport Trust - BRONZE AWARD - 50 hours
Youth Sport Trust - SILVER AWARD - 100 hours
Youth Sport Trust - GOLD AWARD - 200 hours
New for this year is the DAME KELLY HOLMES DOUBLE GOLD AWARD for 400 hours volunteering! The award can be acheived by completing 400 hours in your community placement or 200 hours school based volunteering + 200 hours community based volunteering.
team BEDS&LUTON will award those whose contribution to community volunteering deserves special recognition.
At the end of each school term this year (2008/09) your Step into Sport mentors, and volunteer co-ordinators will be invited to nominate a young volunteer they feel has made a significant contribution in their volunteer placement.
To be eligible for nomination the young volunteer must be actively volunteering in a community placement and registered and using the Step into Sport online passport.
team BEDS&LUTON will select a volunteer from the nominations whose contribution will be recognised on our website. This young volunteer will receive the team BEDS&LUTON Step into Sport Award!
