How can I help out as a Volunteer at CSLA?
It's easy. Simply sign up when the request for volunteers is made!
What kinds of volunteers do we need?
Officials
Hospitality Volunteers
Fundraising
Sponsorship
Special Events
The most significant volunteering requirement will be for the swim meets that we will be hosting each season. At these meets we require OFFICIALS and HOSPITALITY VOLUNTEERS at every session (each meet will comprise more than one session per day of the meet).
Because the meets that we host are such significant fundraising opportunities for the team we require that every member follow our volunteering requirements and get involved in these events:
Officials require a little bit of training and more information can be found on the Officials page.
Hospitality Volunteers require no training. Their job is to ensure that the food for the swim meet, donated by club members and sponsors or purchased by the Club is set out in the Officials' room or served on deck at the appropriate time. Snacks and light meals are a necessary feature at a swim meet and are distributed to all Officials, Volunteers and Coaches participating in the meet. This is actually quite an important task: if officials, volunteers and coaches that come to a meet are able to do their jobs without worrying about hunger or thirst during the session, the hospitality volunteers have done their job!
For each session of a home meet we require 2-3 LEAD HOSPITALITY VOLUNTEERS and 6-8 HELPERS. You will find links to sign up for these tasks on the CSLA Hosted Meets page.
Fundraising is another area where volunteering is required. The fundraising that we do ensures that when the team must travel to competitions in other cities, the cost does not become prohibitive for our members. It also can help to cover costs for extra activities for the swimmers. There are a few fundraising activities that will take place during the season and if you would like to get involved in organizing this important activity or want to know more about the fundraising initiatives we have planned, have a look at our Fundraising page.
Special Events are another area where volunteers are required. These are social events and fun activities for the swimmers and their families which may sometimes have a fundraising component. These may not be crucial to the functioning of the club, but they help to solidify the sense of community in the team and ensure that all the members feel 'at home' at CSLA. If you are interested in getting involved with these activities check out the Special Events page.
