What is a BC Athlete Advocate?
A BC Athlete Advocate is someone who is passionate about being proactive in supporting BC Athletes through advocacy. This means signing up with BC Athlete Voice (BCAV) and being part of a network of BC Athletes from around the province who want to make a difference and play a role in promoting the importance of athletes and sport in our community.
What do BC Athlete Advocates do?
BC Athlete Advocates will do just about anything to promote and advocate for athletes in British Columbia. Below are a few examples of what BC Athlete Advocates do...
- Work with BC Athlete Voice to get informed and educated on the current issues that affect athletes in BC
- Be proactive in promoting the positive value of athletes and sport in the community
- Get involved in taking action to support athletes in BC (writing letters, particpating in online campaigns, providing feedback to BCAV, activating fellow athletes, emailing local and provincial decision makers, spreading a positive message in the media and through the community etc.)
- Work with other athletes and BC Athlete Voice on special projects on specific issues
Why are BC Athlete Advocates important?
Nothing is more powerful than an athlete's own story and own voice used in the right way. BC Athlete Advocates are an essential component in advocating for the importance of athletes because they are the best example of the power of sport. To make a difference and really tackle the key issues that affect athletes requires athletes themselves to stand up and get involved. Through the BC Athlete Advocate program, BC Athlete Voice provides the support and structure to do this in a positive and strategic way.
