Get Set to Make a Change

A new London 2012 legacy project is inviting young people to pledge their time to change their communities for the better. Teacher John Doherty explains.

With less than a month to go until the start of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, London 2012 often feels like a distant memory. However, it recently got a shot in the arm with the launch of a new education programme from the British Olympic Association and the British Paralympic Association called Get Set to Make a Change.

This is a youth volunteering programme aimed at inspiring young people across the country to develop and lead projects in their local communities. 

Interestingly, more than 500 secondary schools have already signed up which suggests that the “spirit of London 2012” can easily be rekindled! This comes as no surprise as schools across the country embraced London 2012.
