Help develop Badminton
Badminton Youth Forum
What is a Badminton Youth Forum? The establishment of a Youth Forum will enable and empower young people to inform BADMINTON England of the needs, demands and issues of 16 -19 year olds, so that we may structure and shape the sport to attract their involvement, participation and importantly create more effective communication links.
The Youth Forum will consist of 10-15 young people (potentially 2/3 candidates per county) who will meet 2 - 3 times per year to help us determine, shape and implement initiatives for young people. Meetings will take place at a central location within the South East Region, with paid travel expenses paid.
The forum will have a specific focus on the retention of 16-19 year olds participating in badminton. The members of the forum itself will decide the best way to achieve this, giving the group ownership of their own project(s), whether this be coordinating consultation or running a large scale event. Who are we looking for? Roles and Responsibilities Members will be allocated roles and will support the development of a number of strands of work, including public relations, content development, sports coaching, partnership management and events delivery. Suggested roles are…. · Chairperson · Secretary · Treasurer · Sponsorship · PR and Marketing · Website design · Event Coordinator · Leadership and Volunteering · Club Support and Sustainable Exit Routes · Competition Benefits... This opportunity offers a brilliant insight into potential careers in community cohesion, digital/offline media, sports, teaching or training and events. The Forum will allow individuals too: · Receive Great CPD and training opportunities · Opportunity to learn about and directly influence the workings of a National Governing Body for Sport in the lead-up to a home Olympics · Have a say in the development of badminton for young people · Represent your peers’ views at regional and national level · Support new initiatives and events in the region · Develop your leadership and team skills · Learn the ins and outs of Event Management · FREE Badminton England Kit · And much more…. See the Badminton England website for more details.

Exceptional communication skills - written or verbal communication (or both) are essential, your thoughts, ideas and ability to inspire is going to be vital in order for this Forum to succeed. However, no experience in badminton is necessary to be able to contribute to the Forum.
