Volunteering
Volunteering provides a unique opportunity to get involved in your local community and to affect it in a positive way. As well as giving you the chance to meet people that you wouldn't otherwise do, it is a great way to escape the cocoon of student or working life and broaden the horizons of all concerned. It supplies the opportunity to make a real difference to those around you, but it gives you plenty back too.
Each universities involved in JUICE offers their own sports volunteering programme for staff and students, where you can pass on your own skills and passion to enrich other people’s experience of sport. Volunteers are entitled to subsidies on JUICE courses, development and travel expenses. Contact your particular institution organiser to receive an informal induction to volunteering in sport.
