Step into Sport

Step Into Sport is a national leadership & volunteering project which, encourages young people to become involved in sport in their local communities. It is a joint partnership between Sports Leaders UK, Youth Sport Trust and Sport England, and is funded by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS).

Step into Sport provides a structured pathway to attract young people into sports volunteering and to use their experience and talents to enhance sport in their local community. It concentrates on training a new generation of volunteers, aged between 14 and 19, through a network of School Sport Partnerships .

Step into Sport builds on existing structures and programmes such as Sports Leaders UK Level 1 Awards and Youth Sport Trust Leadership Academies, to generate greater volunteer links between schools and clubs.

The programme in Kent is always on the lookout for clubs and groups that can provide high quality volunteer placement opportunities for young people. If you are such a club or group or you are looking for more information about the Step into Sport programme in Kent please contact Nathan Hazledene the Kent School Sport Manager via email at nathan.hazledene@kent.gov.uk
