This document discusses youth work and sport organizations as an untapped workforce for delivering sport and physical activity opportunities. It identifies that youth workers from organizations like Boys and Girls Clubs, Scouts, and youth clubs could support strategies to engage more young people in sport. Additionally, it presents a case study of Active Community Enterprise (ACE), a partnership that engages university students as a workforce to support community sport clubs and programs. ACE demonstrates that students can be an untapped resource for volunteering in sport delivery if opportunities are built into their courses and training is provided. The document argues that youth organizations and universities could contribute more to increasing sport participation if aware of strategies and opportunities to get involved.

Youth work is underpinned by the
following characteristics:

• The voluntary involvement by young people who
have chosen to engage in the process
• Being age specific. Focused on 11-25 year olds
• A non-formal education approach
• Being driven by a young-people-first approach
• A universal approach

If not, how can we make them
aware?

Can youth organisations contribute to the sport agenda?

Can youth organisations contribute to the collection of data?

Can youth organisations use sport to further demonstrate the
effectiveness of their work?

Are youth workers an untapped workforce that could be
used?

The document announces an upcoming Annual General Meeting for the Youth Charity Society. The Society links students to various volunteering and charity programs around campus and provides opportunities for volunteers to socialize. Attending the meeting allows students to vote for the new committee, enjoy free food, and hear from guest speakers about leadership through volunteer experience. Upcoming volunteering events are also advertised, including a walking event to guide visually impaired people around campus in September.

The Community Electric Bike Program sought to test how electric bikes could benefit underserved communities and improve transportation options. It partnered with a nonprofit community center to provide 10 used electric bikes to participants over 3 cohorts. The majority of the 28 participants were male and did not own a regular bicycle. They reported traveling around 4,000 miles over 10 weeks. However, some barriers included the durability of the bikes in rain and potholes as well as a lack of rain gear. Overall, the project showed electric bikes' potential for faster, easier transportation but introduced challenges around adoption in new communities.
