How to enhance your skills and support your favorite sport? Apply for the Sport for Change training and find out how to contribute to your personal growth through volunteering in sport during a month of action in Malaga (Spain)!
The grassroot sport is vital and active thanks to the thousands of volunteers who make their time available for the sport they are passionate about. Without these volunteers, the local sports environment would not be as engaging and the community spirit and bonding it generates would be at risk.
Recognizing the high value contribution volunteers bring to grassroot sport, as part of the Sport For Change project, we have developed a two-phase training program to improve the skills of volunteers in grassroot and provide them with an opportunity to exchange with peers and learn in the field during a month of volunteering in Malaga, Spain. Participation is free for both the first and second phase of the training. Travel, food and accommodation costs are covered by the project.
The Training
The training will take place in two phases, one pre-departure (online) in preparation for the participation in the volunteering experience in Malaga and the other will take place in Malaga where participants will be trained and then will have the opportunity to test the skills they have acquired during the training by supporting the project coordinator, ASOCIACIÓN INICIATIVA INTERNACIONAL JOVEN, in the organization and implementation of several sport events.
The pre-departure training is composed by 3 sessions and will take place during the period from May 24 to June 10, 2021:
- Session 1: volunteering, rights and duties of the volunteer.
- Session 2: volunteering in sports, sporting events and public events.
- Session 3: Recognition, Validation and Certification of Competencies (RVCC).
This training is preparatory to the one-month volunteer period in Malaga (Spain) that will take place in July 2021.
NB: given the current circumstances regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the experience in Spain is subject to possible change or cancellation based on risk assessment and other factors related to the evolving situation.
