After great take up in recent years the Cycling Award for Young Volunteers workshop will feature at all six of the 2015 Go-Ride Conferences throughout February and March, offering young people the opportunity to get involved in volunteering.

Young Volunteers new to the CAYV programme

This will introduce the Cycling Award for Young Volunteers programme and Racemakers workshop in order to provide participants with a broad overview of cycling and of the three volunteering options outlined below:

  • Running a club: may include event management, race co-ordination and club development. Could lead to a Young Officer role at a club
  • Coaching: acting as an assistant to a British Cycling qualified coach at a local Go-Ride club.
  • Officiating: this can encompass marshalling and helping to organise Go-Ride Racing events and assisting at British Cycling open competitions.

As part of the workshop Young Volunteers will complete an action plan, leading them directly into club activities in order to utilise their new skills. The day will finish with a celebration of the Young Volunteers that have completed the Gold and Platinum levels of the award, allowing new recruits to see what is possible to achieve as a club volunteer and where the sport can take them.

What do the young volunteers get out of it?

Tangible leadership and communications skills, which are invaluable for CV-building, further education or employment applications. A Volunteer Passport will be given to record volunteer hours – 12 hours for a bronze award, 24 for silver and 36 for gold. Free membership is available after achieving the Bronze Award. There is also an opportunity to further develop volunteering skills as part of an extended Platinum Award.
