Volunteers

We appreciate the Value of Volunteers

 

Any community’s level of success depends on the willingness of its members to contribute to its vibrancy and health and The Flyers have a long tradition of exceptional volunteerism. We cannot survive without the selfless efforts of parents and players offering their time and talents to help our youth hockey program function. These volunteers represent all sectors of the community. They are family and friends of athletes, student groups, business leaders, and members of local civic organizations that share our vision of Building Players for Life. Whether it be coaching or managing a team, helping with player safety through Safesport, helping with the apparel ordering and distribution, score keeping, working the penalty box during a game, helping with administrative tasks or other ways, Flyers truly rely on a community effort.

Remember that if you have a matching program at your place of employment, you can turn in your volunteer hours and SRJHC will receive matching funds for the time you spend volunteering.  This is one of our primary sources of donations and plays an important role for funding operations.
