Young Equestrian Leaders Award (YELA) is the DofE of the equestrian community. It gives access to a whole host of opportunities not readily available, such as saying “Good Luck” and “Well Done” to Olympic riders as they enter and leave the dressage ring that you are stewarding.
Embarking on the Young Equestrian Leaders Award scheme is a fantastic way of using volunteering for personal development. The experiences will enable you to gain essential life skills such as communication, problem solving, organising, team working and self-management.
You will also gain invaluable experience of the specific area you are volunteering in, and the roles and skills involved. These skills can include working with young people, event organising, budgeting, fundraising, scoring, and stewarding.
Completing the award shows dedication and can be used to enhance your CV, university, and job applications. Volunteering can help build confidence as you meet and work with new people.
