Volunteering

A message from Chris Dunning

Teamv is a new programme focused on England designed to identify and co-ordinate a growing network of young Teamv Volunteer Team Leaders aged between 18 – 25.  They need to be self motivated and passionate about seeing positive local change in their area.  Teamv will select 75, in the first year, across England and will provide three broad themes for action e.g. the planet, healthy living and regenerating local spaces.

 

The Volunteer Leaders will attend 2 residential training weekends to assist with their own confidence and practical skills to help with their recruitment of up to ten additional volunteers who will assist with the design and implementation of 3 campaigns, one for each theme, over a six month period taking place in November 2011, February 2012 and May 2012.

 

Each team leader will be able to utilise a budget of up to £1,000 per campaign, a practical toolkit of promotional resources and support from a designated youth network co-ordinator from Teamv. This will also include additional resources and in-kind benefits locally.  The whole programme of 3 campaigns will be co-ordinated centrally by Teamv.

 

Each team leader will receive substantial training and support plus up to a £1,000 bursary for personal training or education following the completion of the programme.  Each additional volunteer, probably aged 16-25 (to a maximum of 10), will receive a £50 voucher in recognition of their help.  A graduation ceremony in June 2012, in London, will recognise overall achievements.

 

The National Institute for Adult Continuing Education, Charities Aid Foundation and The Rank Foundation are all partners in the Teamv programme.

 

I would encourage all of our Rank network to help identify and encourage Teamv Volunteer leaders to apply for this opportunity. Any individual can apply but note that the cut-off date for the first campaign is soon!
