In-school volunteer role model

Co-delivering workshops in secondary schools to girls about the importance of physical activity
We are partnering with the Sweaty Betty Foundation to deliver workshops to girls in secondary schools about the importance of physical activity. We are looking for women who are interested in speaking with girls about how physical activity has helped them with mental wellbeing, education and career goals and developing skills. The workshops last between 1.5 to 2 hours and are co-facilitated with a member of our team. Your role as a volunteer role model is to join the facilitator in assisting with activities that help re-frame the girls thinking around physical activity

You must be a woman and age 18+. No specific qualifications required. Key skills/experiences include: - Good verbal communication skills. - Confidence to speak with, and in front of, a group of children. - Availability during school hours (can be on a one-off occasion or more regular). - Current doing some form of physical activity (to any level, can be something you do recreationally or pursuing as a career).
· Engagement in a cause that is important – young teenage girls are consistently behind their male peers in terms of confidence and engagement in physical activity and we want people who can show them why physical activity is important for physical wellbeing and skill development. · Flexibility of role – you can decide if a school location is right for you or not, and do as many or as little workshops as possible.
You can do as many or as little school workshops as you like. You will receive a weekly list of opportunities and can decide if you would like to sign up to any. Each workshop is approx. 1.5 hours long, taking place during the school day.
