But don't take our word for it. Here’s what some Team v leaders have to say about their experience:
“I've spent a brilliant 8 months being a Team v leader and I can't recommend it enough!”
“Just had a job interview that I would not be qualified for without @vinspired_teamv. Want to get some amazing skills? Apply for the next cohort!"
“An amazing opportunity to get out and make a real difference”
What's involved?
If you become a Team v leader you will recruit and lead a team of volunteers to help you roll out 3 innovative campaigns in your community.
You’ll also attend action packed training residentials, arming you with the skills you need to create positive change.
Last year's campaigns
Team v had awesome success in its first year with leaders tackling the three following social issues in their communities:
Food poverty
One of the highlights from last year was Team v leaders giving food to over 6,000 people who needed it most at Christmas.
Loneliness amongst older people
Loneliness affects 1 in 10 older people in the UK. Team v Leaders did a fantastic job tackling the issue - organising social events for older people, running focus groups and awareness raising in their communities.
Improving literacy amongst children
1 in 3 children don't own a book, 25% of children don't think reading is important... But together, team v leaders are changing that, visiting schools and setting up story-telling workshops and groups across the country. Go Team v!
So if you want to create positive change like this on your doorstep - look no further!
