Similar to the shuttle drivers, we need help with keeping the parking lot organized, helping people find open spots, letting guests know when the shuttle can be expected, and communicating the status of the lots to our Facilities people. In addition to the UVAC lot we also have an off-site lot. The position requires being able to stand and move around the lots. For winter meets the volunteer must have warm clothing and be able to be outdoors in cold weather for several hours at a time. Lunch may be provided depending on the shifts.

Volunteers must be comfortable driving an 8-12 passenger vehicle (no special license required). Meets are held throughout the year with the majority being held on Saturdays and Sundays.

Other areas of need are helping with games and crafts throughout the day and assisting the children as needed with food, snacks and bathroom breaks. Vacation camps run during school vacations and summer break.

Welcome Desk
Time Commitment: 2 hour shift per week
Volunteers in this position will directly interact with every member/guest that checks in. The need for professionalism, multi-tasking and a high attention to detail are essential skills. The ability to meet and greet diverse groups of individuals with an infectious smile is a must. Answering questions and the phone as well as recruiting new members/volunteers will add to the variety of tasks that will come your way at the welcome desk.
