Volunteers are an essential and invaluable asset within clubs. Without volunteers, many clubs would cease to exist, or at the very least struggle to keep going. The RYA is committed to supporting your clubs, associations and centres in providing good quality volunteering experiences in the hope that people volunteering within sailing / boating do so within a positive and supportive environment.
The RYA Volunteer Support Programme
The overall purpose of this programme is to support the continuation, growth & success of sailing/boating at all levels, and aims to ensure that sufficient volunteers positively engage in RYA and affiliated club activities now and in the future.
The programme will support clubs by developing a range of useful resources, information guidance and training which address the key areas of concern with regard to volunteers: How to Recruit, Retain, Reward and Recognise.
