Recognising Junior Volunteers: Volunteer Awards and Young Orienteer of the Year
At the Interarea weekend the first winners of the Junior Volunteer Awards were announced. Listening to feedback from last years inter areas, Development Director Mary Williams created the Junior Volunteer Awards to recognise and encourage juniors who are taking their first steps into volunteering. These awards are not about being the best at a role — they are about having a go and learning!
The prestigious Young Orienteer of the Year award was also awarded at the Inter Areas. This award is awarded to one Junior each year who has contributed greatly to orienteering. This can be anything from making events happen, helping run club sessions and getting friends and family involved. This award is sponsored by Tulloch Homes and has been handed out each year since 2018.
