Slipstreamers Young Volunteers & Young Officials

Our Young Volunteers/ Officials at Slipstreamers are aged anywhere from 5 up to 24, and we have a fair number of our members who are actively engaged in the running of the Club. The pathway for our Young Leaders is generally Young Volunteers (13-16), Young Officials (16-24), Young Coaches (16-24). Volunteer activities range from helping with sign on duties, packing away, tidying up and picking up litter, putting out signs, carrying stuff, supporting the mechanics, waving flags at events, judging races, producing media for the website, supporting the coaching teams, being rider helpers – you name it. Those who wish to participate in the British Cycling Award for Young Volunteers (CAYV) scheme from the age of 14 years are fully supported and encouraged; and those who just want to help out as and when they are able to without going down a formal route are equally mentored and encouraged to grow and develop. Every single one of them are responsible in some way shape or form for the continued grown and development of their Club – and we are immensely proud of them all.
