mygames Ambassadors

The Coalfields Regeneration Trust is using the inspiration of the Olympic Games to encourage young people to share their time and talents and make a positive difference in their community.

The “mygames” programme calls on young people to undertake exciting volunteering projects in the community that promote and celebrate the values of the 2012 Olympic Games. Values that include friendship, respect, excellence, equality and determination. The programme is part of a unique collaboration of 20 innovative charities across England, who have come together to deliver mygames. The programme is funded and powered by v, The National Young Volunteers Service.  The Coalfields Regeneration Trust was chosen by v for its imaginative approach to working with young people, its fresh ideas and its commitment to embracing the opportunities created by 2012.

The Trust offers a range of volunteering opportunities in sport but particularly wants to hear from young people who are interested in becoming a mygames Ambassador and leading on the delivery of a sport event in their community with their friends.

We will provide each Ambassador with the support necessary to help them plan and coordinate the delivery of a sporting event in their local community and can also offer training opportunities in sport. To help you, get your mates involved and make it an event to remember.

This is a unique opportunity to get involved in the build up to London 2012 and to develop new skills.
