Could you use your engineering experience to help Greenpower hold a thrilling motorsport competition that promotes engineering as a rewarding career to young people aged 9-25? Would you like to help young people to develop an interest in sustainability and teamwork skills? Yes? Then you might want to consider volunteering for Greenpower.
The competition gives participants tangible insights into the real world of engineering. It allows students to design, build and race their very own electric powered car. Greenpower hold up to 30 events in a season.
You will:
- Be STEMNET registered
- Have an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check (previously known as a CRB check)
Support schools – many schools need help to take part in the Greenpower project and as an engineer you will be able to share your knowledge and experiences with students so they can understand what’s it’s like to have a career in engineering.
Marshal at events – Greenpower hold up to 30 events in a season and rely on volunteers to help us marshal these. As a volunteer marshals you will need to commit to full days for each event.
Scrutineer – at events Greenpower checks each entry for safety before they are allowed to drive. If you help with scrutineering you will receive notes before hand and a full briefing from the chief scrutineer on the day. As a scrutineer you would need to arrive at an event at 8am but should be finished by 11am.
Promote Greenpower – You’ll be helping Greenpower staff raise awareness of the project within schools and possibly identifying companies that might want to provide funding.
You will:
- Boost your professional skills, experience and confidence
- Contribute to your local community
- Help inspire the next generation
Volunteering can be at just one event a year or on a more regular basis in your local area.
