What is International Year of Volunteers+10? • 2011 is the 10th anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers+10 (IYV+10). • BMX Sports Western Australia realise what a big contribution volunteers make to the sport and would like to introduce the Volunteer & Officials Awards program. Volunteer recognition • Volunteers are the backbone of the sport and recreation industry – it would not survive without them. Recognition is vital.

  4. Valuing our Volunteers • Our organisation, BMX Sports Western Australia, recognises the importance of supporting and recognising volunteers so they feel valued and are able to carry out the duties they have been given. • The International Year of Volunteers+10 provides an exciting opportunity for sport and recreation to focus on its volunteers, the role they perform, the contribution they make and how to support and recognise them in their work. Volunteers are ordinary people making an extraordinary contribution. They truly are the spirit of the BMX community!
