PCST--- VOLUNTEER RECRUIT

For European Capital of sport Glasgow 2023

#Service Design #Team Project

Project Introduction

The project aims to enhance the development of local sports institutions by designing a comprehensive volunteer recruitment process for local charities. The goals include attracting more young participants, increasing the influence of sports institutions, enriching participants' resumes, and cultivating potential volunteers for future sports events.

It coincides with Glasgow's successful application to be elected as the European sports capital in 2023. We hope to better benefit the development of local sports institutions. We have designed a more complete volunteer recruitment process for local charities. Hope to attract more young participants and improve the influence of sports institutions. It can not only meet the needs of participants' rich resumes but also cultivate potential volunteers for future sports events.

PART ONE RESEARCH

KEY WORDS: SPORT / VOLUNTEER / CITY HERITAGE

Our group explored challenges through these key points. In addition, the "Glasgow effect" is an inevitable social phenomenon in the city where the project is located, and its impact is also considered.

FIED RESEARCH & PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION MECHANISM OR EXPERT:

LEAP SPORTS / STRATHCLYDE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR / PCST

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:

Sport may help to improve ‘Glasgow Effect’;

Volunteer training system and participants' willingness and motivation；

Sport mechanism operation and membership;

PART ONE INSIGHT:

Government policy may be the key influence factor toward ‘Glasgow Effect’;

Self attitude is a vital motivation, but for young people, work experience from voluntary is more attractive;

The funds support for public mechanism are from government, relevant charities (donations),local clubs and bar;

The sport events require large number of high level volunteers. But there is no effective social volunteer system for sustainable development.

PART TWO RESEARCH

INSIGHT SUMMARY:

Volunteer is a group that can become a city heritage. However, there are lack of funds to support sustainable development through completive system that can attract fresh blood. Besides, charities lack sufficient self- and effective promotion methods, dynamic assistant coaches, and viable operation structures.
