Youth Volunteer Award
The IRFU Youth Volunteer Award is an initiative of the IRFU Youth Council, aimed at providing those aged 16-24 with the opportunity to be recognised for their volunteering work within their club, school, or university.
Since 2017, the IRFU Youth Council has advocated for and on behalf of all youth to ensure a range of opportunities for youths to have their voices heard. The IRFU Youth Council Club Resource Booklet published in October 2020 established that youth players are keen to learn more about various aspects of the game.
Announced on August 12th 2021 (International Youth Day), the various modules of the programme will offer participants the opportunity to develop a wide range of volunteering skills through online modules and complete a number of practical hours within their own club.
There are three tiers to the IRFU Youth Volunteering Award.
Bronze – Complete 3 online modules (30 points).
Silver – Complete 6 online modules (60 points).
Gold – Complete 9 online modules (90 points) and accumulate 12 hours of practical volunteering.
After completion of the Gold tier, participants are awarded a certificate & award pack and a booklet of resources/templates.
We hope you find something of interest in these online modules and that you will be more knowledgeable and better prepared to contribute as a volunteer once you have completed them.
