We are pleased to announce the new online passport for active volunteers. Students will now be able to log and manage your volunteering online with the Youth Sport Trust.  To register onto the programme students will need to obtain the school voucher code from the schools SSCo. This will allow them to register onto the SiS volunteer passport and enable students to record their volunteering hours and work towards the awards.

The SiS Volunteer Passport can be accessed through the YST homepage at http://sisvp.youthsporttrust.org/sisvp/index.jsp  The new site will offer not only an electronic log but will give access  to PDF resources and case studies to support  volunteering.
