DC Wave Swim Volunteers
Volunteering
Each season, families are assessed a $100 volunteer fee. This $100 will be refunded to the swim family at the end of the season with completion of 20 volunteer points or transferred to your escrow account upon completion of 20 volunteer points.HOW THE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM FEE WORKS For ease of tracking, we have assigned points to each volunteer activity. Using an electronic signup service. Family members can log on to the site and choose the desired activity. There will be a volunteer coordinator at each session of each meet. Volunteers should sign in with the Volunteer Activity Coordinator prior to the start of the meet to confirm attendance.
Swim meets are the most available way to earn points. Other ways to earn your 20 points are Event Planning and Fundraising activities. There may also be select opportunities to volunteer as designated by the Booster Club Executive Board. These will be announced as needed throughout the season. When you accumulate 20 points, your invoice will reflect the transfer of the $100 Volunteer Fee into your escrow account.
Accumulation of Points by Co-Partnership Single parents may employ the support of a dedicated adult to reach their volunteer goal. They may register one adult who can assist them in meeting the required point goal.
