Volunteers are the heart of our organization, ensuring that our youth programs run smoothly and provide a positive experience for all participants. Each family is required to contribute 3 hours of volunteer time per season. If you cannot fulfill this requirement, you may opt-out for a $100 fee per registrant.

Below are the various ways you can get involved and make a difference:
