Young volunteers complete sports program

Three young sport volunteers from Peninsula sport clubs will complete the Youth Inspired sport volunteer program in July.

Peninsula participants in the program are Andrew Peachey from Woy Woy Football Club and Darnell Wisham and Lachlan Player, both from Peninsula Junior Touch.

Participants have completed modules in volunteer management and club management.

They have also participated in a practical session on roles of committee members and conducting effective meetings.

The volunteers are also completing First Aid qualifications and online training through the Play By The Rules website, as well as supporting their local clubs through completion of volunteer duties that focus on the running of the club.

The fourth and final monthly education module on June 24 will see the group tackle the finances of sporting clubs with a session on managing club finance, conducted by Adele Johns of Community Compass.

Youth Inspired will wrap up with a weekend camp held at Myuna Bay Sport and Recreation Centre from July 5 to 7.
