Sport and Recreation
Sports Volunteering

Sport and recreation depend on volunteers. Without them, amateur sport simply couldn’t happen. For more information about volunteers and volunteering, see the Volunteer BC or  Volunteer Canada website.

Volunteers carry out virtually every key function in sport, from coaching to providing transportation. They have a key role to play in creating a safe environment for kids in sport, ensuring that sport activity is free from abuse and violence. That’s one reason why volunteer screening is important.

Those who organize sport and recreation activities have a responsibility to protect participants, staff and volunteers. One way to do this is to provide a screening process to evaluate volunteers so you can identify and exclude anyone who might pose a risk to participants or other volunteers or staff.
