The Vodacom Challenge Volunteer programme has grown in leaps and bounds since it was initially introduced in 2007.

Under the guidance of Peter McIntosh who has extensive experience in volunteer programmes, over 800 volunteers assisted in making the Vodacom Challenge 2008 the success it was.

Peter’s catch phrase for all volunteer programmes is to offer a “Spectacular Spectator Experience”, and he says that this year’s Vodacom Challenge will be no different.  Once again the volunteers will have a variety of roles, including assisting the media and VIP’s, on-field activities and offering direction and information to the spectators.  In order to improve on 2008, this year volunteers will be deployed outside the stadium to assist spectator’s reading their tickets and guiding them to the correct gates.

The Vodacom Challenge Volunteer Programme not only aims to give the spectators “a Spectacular Spectator Experience” but it also develops those who volunteer their time. “We aim to leave a legacy with volunteers” says Peter McIntosh.  Within the programme people who are identified as leaders are nurtured and encouraged to take leadership programmes and positions within the team.  In addition the volunteer training offers both life and customer service skills that the volunteers are encouraged to make use of in other areas of their lives.  Many of last year’s volunteers have commented that the programme has built their confidence and that the experience they gained was invaluable. 

The volunteers are ready to don their lime green shirts and make this year’s event even more spectacular than last year as they celebrate 10 years of the Vodacom Challenge!
