So, having almost completed my 9 month journey as a Team V Leader, it is time to pass the baton on. The time is coming, yet again, for recruitment of Team V Class of 2015 (hence, we are Class of 2014). To encourage you on your way to pressing apply and possibly becoming a Team V Leader, here are 12 comedy reasons why you should apply to be in my position next year:
1. If, like me, you have crazy friends (in a good way), having one of them singing "Follow the Leader, Leader, Leader. Follow the Leader" can be quite funny. You can turn round and say "I am the leader".
2. Additional to that, you can always get people to make the joke about aliens and the classic saying "Take Me to Your Leader".
3. You get three free trips away with free food (if it's as good as this year, you're in for a treat)
4. If the venues are as big as this year, you will have a chance to get experience of getting lost and having to consult a map to find your way round a hotel (This might be a bad thing but it seemed pretty funny to me at the time).
5. You get to hang out with some awesome people, including Mentors and staff and your fellow leaders. This isn't necessarily funny but it is really inspiring and fun to see so many people working together to "Change the world, one campaign at a time".
6. You get to make the joke about the Hunger Games, i.e. the line about "I volunteer" (apparently quite a few charities are playing on the fact that it is a Hunger Games Reference)
7. In relation to my earlier reason, you can yourself go round singing "Follow the Leader, Leader, Leader. Follow the Leader" and no one will think you are weird (well, at least not for that reason). Despite this, it does help to be a bit crazy when you take up the job of Team V Leader.
8. To be honest, Not all of these are funny. My other reason is, although it may sound boring at the moment, you get lots of really useful and practical training that will not only help you in Team V but in life as well.
9. Not that you would do it for this reason but you get money at the end (unfortunately, it has to be spent of something for your "educational benefit". What a shame).
10. These reasons are getting less funny but you certainly learn a lot of skills that are really useful, such as time and money management, working with a team and delegating tasks to people to share out the workload.
11. If you are anything like me, you will be watching the campaign videos just to listen to the tune in the background. So catchy. I'd just like to take this moment to congratulate whoever comes up with both the videos and the music for making it so fun and catchy. How do you do it?
12. I NEED A SUCCESSOR. Please don't let me down, both in my local area, Darlington and anywhere else in the country.
So there are my top 12 sort of comedic reasons for applying for Team V Class of 2015. If you would like anymore insight into what we do, please don't hesitate to check out the vIspired YouTube Channel for past campaign videos and also see the results of the campaigns. I will have more posts coming up soon, given I have quite a few ideas but I will be keeping you up to date on the Routes to Roots campaign in Darlington and there will be other stuff too. If you are on Twitter and have read this post, please Retweet or post it yourself. The further we get the message, the better. Untill the next time, Team V Out!
