Welcome to Our Volunteer Page!
Amazing Families Make Blue Crush Amazing!
Hello Blue Crush Families!
We're thrilled to have you as part of our community! As a volunteer-run organization, we rely on the amazing support of our families to keep everything running smoothly. To help us achieve this, we ask each family to contribute between 10 and 30 volunteer hours per year. If you join us mid-year, your hours will be adjusted accordingly.
How Volunteer Hours Work
Who Can Help?
These hours can be fulfilled by athletes, family members, or friends! Grandparents, siblings, and close family friends can all pitch in to help your family meet the requirement.
Scholarship Recipients
For those receiving club scholarships, a minimum of 35 volunteer hours per year is required.
Unmet Hours Policy
Any hours not completed by July 31st will be billed in August at $25 per hour. To ensure you receive credit, please submit your hours monthly using our online form under the Parent Info/Volunteer hours form tab.
