Arsenal star Kieran Gibbs is backing a new initiative encouraging young people to volunteer their time for the chance to win tickets to see Premier League clubs.
If you are passionate about football, want to get more involved with the beautiful game and fancy doing something worthwhile with your time, volunteer with vinspired.com and you could be in with the chance of netting yourself a pair of match day tickets.
You might not have the potential to become the next Messi, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on your football obsession. To help you use your passion for football to make a difference and learn new skills, v, The National Young Volunteers’ Service, is launching ‘Make the Team’; an initiative encouraging young people to volunteer their time for the chance to win tickets to see Premier League Clubs.
Young Gunner Gibbs says: “If I wasn’t lucky enough to be playing football, I’m not sure what I’d be doing with my career and that’s why I think ‘Make the Team’ is such a great project to get involved with. Volunteering is not only a really good opportunity to put your time to something worthwhile, but it’s also a great way of building up your skills and ultimately achieving your goals, whether it’s football or another industry that you want to get into. I’m really looking forward to giving something back and doing my bit with other volunteers soon.”
Anyone between the ages of 16-25 can get involved. All you need to do is visit: vinspired.com/football and register (free of charge).Then select your favourite Premier League team and you will then automatically be entered into a prize draw, to win one of numerous pairs of match day tickets.There are hundreds of football- and sport-related volunteering opportunities on vinspired.com, including the chance to coach, referee or organise tournaments as well as thousands of other more general volunteer roles.
In addition to winning Premier League Tickets, volunteering can provide you with the following:
- Valuable work experience in a field that’s of interest to you e.g. football
- The chance to give something back to your local community
- Development of a range of new skills
- The opportunity to meet and interact with new people and broaden your horizons
- The chance to show initiative to future employers
- Additional experience to put on your CV
The campaign is supported by many leading footballers, coaches and managers, including Gibbs, Bill Bush (Director of Communications and Public Policy at Premier League) Stuart Pearce, David Seaman, Chris Kamara and Martin Tyler.
