Volunteer Commitment
Meadows Race Team has a long and proud history of parental engagement in the success of the organization. This has included hosting the highest quality ski races. Races ensure a fun and successful experience for our youngest athletes and give our older athletes the opportunity to compete in high level FIS races on their own hill. Volunteer opportunities give each family a chance to work off their volunteer days and save money. Each MRT family commits to volunteer days. The requirement is 2 volunteer days for 1-day programs (U8, Development Team, and Big Mountain Foundations) and 4 volunteer days for all other programs. For families who choose not to or cannot complete their volunteer commitment, there will be a $100 fee per volunteer day. Every volunteer needs to complete a volunteer liability release.
Program | Volunteer Commitment |
Big Mountain | 1 day program 2 days per athlete /2-day program 4 days max 4 days per family |
U8-U14 Devo Program | 2 Days per athlete max 4 days per family |
U10-U14 Club/Club Plus | 4 Days |
U14-U19 Comp Team | 4 Days |
Required Forms
There are two to three required items a volunteer must do prior to helping. The first is to commit to our schedule on the Volunteer Commitment Form and sign our volunteer release of liability. In addition, to the first two items, those volunteers with authority positions over an athlete, like Board members, coaches, full-time employees, and key race officials (start and finish referees, etc.) must also complete Safe Sport certification as required by the USSS governing body. So at least two and maybe all three requirements are necessary for most volunteers.
