Volunteer Job Descriptions:
It is through the system of figure skating clubs that figure skaters are provided the opportunity to excel in their sport. The clubs give figure skaters competitive experience, testing opprotunities, and financial opportunities to advance their craft.
The heart and soul of any organization are its members. Glacier Falls FSC has risen to prominence due to the efforts of many of its members, volunteering time, knowledge, and resources. You too can be a part of the club.
Below is a partial list of the jobs/functions that are needed in support of our skaters. Some are continuous jobs (some activity all year long) while others are one-time jobs. Please review the list to determine if there is anything you can help with.
Keep in mind that you will not have to start the job from scratch. It is the intention of the GFFSC board that everyone can be mentored into the selected job.
