Ryedale Sports Volunteer
Support Scheme

What is The Sports Volunteer Support Scheme?

The aim of the Sports Volunteer Support Scheme is to engage and develop Volunteers, Leaders, Coaches and Officials who are representative of and active within, the community.

How does the scheme work?

• The scheme sponsors individuals through their chosen course in return for some volunteer time.
• If you live in Ryedale or give your time in the area as a volunteer in sport you probably qualify.
• Scholarship Candidates must be nominated by a Referee. Referees are normally Club officials, Ryedale District Council Officers or Community Representative who have some volunteer activity the Scholarship Candidate can go into and who can act as a Mentor to the Scholarship Volunteer.
  
• If you can think of someone you could nominate and you can act as his or her Referee/Mentor please complete the application form.
