Bring Change Up2Us is a national coalition that is leading a movement to redefine the role of sports in the lives of young Americans. Its members are committed to using community sports programs to help young people apply valuable life lessons, make smart choices, and bring real change to their communities. Engaging Volunteers in Up2Us Programs: A Call to Post Opportunities To help build the workforce for Up2Us programs, Up2Us.org and the volunteer database are live and ready to collect volunteer, job, and board opportunities.  Up2Us.org will be a connection point for thousands of adult volunteers to work with youth through your programs.  And our custom-built database is designed to help you recruit and manage your volunteers.   To learn about these new resources, Up2Us has set-up a series of training conference calls.  There is no need to RSVP - simply call in to 616-347-8100 (passcode: 306759#) to attend: Tuesday, March 17, 3pm Eastern Thursday, March 19, 2pm Eastern Tuesday, March 24, 1pm Eastern With the launch of the Up2Us Web site and database, Up2Us is working with print and radio media to publicize volunteer success stories and bring attention to your programs and the SBYD field.  We're also developing relationships with Idealist.org and sport-for-change-activism social networks to attract potential volunteers.   If you would like more information about posting job, volunteer, and board opportunities, please contact Nick Beckman at nbeckman@up2us.org.   Not an Up2Us Member?
