What is the Volunteering program?
At the Lethbridge Skating Club we recognize the importance of volunteering. We ask families to participate in and help facilitate the delivery of successful club events.
NEW FOR 17-18 SEASON:
We no longer have minimum volunteer requirements for CanSkate families. However, when you sign your child up to participate in events involving your CanSkate children we will ask you to commit to helping out so that we may deliver a successful experience for your child. Aside from the weekly lesson schedule, there are two events during the Fall-Winter season that are designed for the enjoyment and participation of CanSkate children:
There are no volunteer requirements for CanPowerSkate families.
STARSkate, SynchroSkate and AdultSkate families are asked to volunteer a number of hours each season based on the highest-level registered skater in the family. This is a per family commitment, not a per skater commitment. For example; if you have one child registered in Group STARSkate and one child registered in Private Lesson STARSkate you are required to fulfill the commitment for a Private Lesson skating family only.
The commitments are as follows:
We require each family whose highest-level skater is registered in PRIVATE LESSON STARSkate sessions to contribute 12 hours of volunteering, plus 1 carnival shift, plus 1 ice ambassador shift per registered session over the course of the season (see details and sign-up link below). A minimum of 5 of the 12 hours must be at the Chinook Open Competition. A $200.00 cheque dated February 28, 2018 is required at registration and will be destroyed if the required volunteer commitment is fulfilled.
We require each family whose highest-level skater is registered in GROUP STARSkate to contribute 10 hours of volunteering, plus 1 carnival shift over the course of the season. A $200.00 cheque dated February 28, 2018 is required at registration and will be destroyed if the required volunteer commitment is fulfilled.
We require each family whose ONLY skater is registered in SynchroSkate only or ADULT CanSkate only or ADULT STARSkate only to contribute 5 hours of volunteering over the course of the season AND purchase $500 in grocery gift cards OR contribute 10 hours of volunteering over the course of the season and purchase no grocery gift cards. One $100.00 cheque dated February 28, 2018 is required at registration and will be destroyed if the required combined volunteer/fundraising commitment is fulfilled.
There are 4 events where the majority of families are able to fulfill their volunteering commitment:
Please remember that these are the minimums. There are many, many families who contribute far more than the minimum and the Lethbridge Skating Club is grateful for their generous contribution. It is your efforts that make our programs and events great for our kids!
STARSkate, SynchroSkate and AdultSkate families: Please complete the Volunteer and Fundraising Commitment Form and submit with your two guarantee cheques to the Lethbridge Skating Club office on the first day of skating.
