Volunteering Opportunities

 

Each skater must have a parent or guardian take on one volunteer task/role listed below. Each skater pays a $100 volunteer fee at time of registration. Once the volunteer task is completed, the cheque/cash will be given right back to the parent/guardian. This is on a per skater basis (i.e. if you have multiple skaters, you will need to register for multiple tasks to get each volunteer fee back). 

 

Executive Duties 
Taking on an executive role, you will get to have an active role in how our club is run. You get a vote in the board meetings on all important matters and can help determine the best way to grow our organization. You will receive your $100 volunteer fee back at the end of the year, provided you attend the majority of the board meetings and perform an active role in the executive group. Board meetings are typically run every 2 months during skating year, a large year-end dinner in the summer, as well as email communication throughout the year. 
 
All executive duties can be requested, but will need to be nominated and agreed by all members at the AGM. If your name is not selected for an executive duty, you will be asked to choose another volunteer task.
 
Please check the "executive committee" tab to see what roles are open.
