Volunteer Opportunities

Have a little time? We need you! Most volunteer opportunities are available for students and adults 16 years and older.

Sports Volunteers

Without a solid volunteer base, hundreds of local children would miss out on the experience of playing on a league team for soccer, baseball, softball and basketball. Please consider giving some time to the children of the community. You can make a difference!

Event Volunteers

Help is always needed at our community events. General duties and responsibilities include: Assisting staff with set up, running activity stations, serving refreshments and clean up. As a volunteer you can make your own schedule!
