RELAYS
* 
Would you like to be part of the 2012 Games right here in the South West?
* Would you like to make yourself stand out from the crowd and boost you CV?
* Would you like to gain some valuable work experience and have fun?
If the answer is ‘yes’ to any of the above, RELAYS (the Regional Educational Legacy in Art and Youth Sport) would like to hear from you.
The project has been set up to engage and inspire local young people in the South West to be involved in sporting and cultural events in the run up to, and beyond, the London 2012 Games. We offer some amazing opportunities for you to help organise and run events through your university or college.
Through RELAYS, you can get involved in planning, organising or marshalling community festivals and events, marketing and PR, coaching, fundraising, filming and much, much more!
Whatever you’re interested in, whatever you study, there is a role for you. No specialist experience is necessary as full training will be given; all we ask for is bags of enthusiasm!
And the bonus is, it’s not all about having fun. Being a volunteer for RELAYS is a fantastic way to enhance your CV, get real-life experience beyond your degree, make friends and play your part in what will be the biggest event in the country! You may also have the chance to gain extra qualifications and training.
