We are partnering with the Sweaty Betty Foundation to deliver workshops to girls in schools about the importance of physical activity. After a successful pilot, we are rolling this project out to Greater Manchester and 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. This collaboration involves bringing volunteer role models from the community (across a variety of sectors and professions) into schools with us to deliver workshops that act both as a careers education and also a motivation for staying physically active. For example, our role models might talk about how physical activity (however big or small, in whatever shape that looks like for them) has helped with their mental wellbeing or skill development in resilience, confidence, problem-solving that has allowed them to get where they are today in their careers.

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 and encourage them to set a pledge in an area they are interested in exploring. No previous experience required and a 1:1 introductory training call provided. No time commitment - you can do as many or as little workshops as you like, and we liaise with the school against your availability, location etc. Travel expenses are reimbursed. 

If you are passionate about getting teenage girls active, and feel you can share your own journey and experiences with physical activity, this would be great for you.
