Volunteer Requirement Policy

At Tallyn’s Reach Swim Team, we greatly value the contributions of our volunteers, who play a vital role in supporting our mission and achieving our goals. To ensure the effectiveness of our volunteer program and the fulfillment of our organizational needs, we have established minimum volunteer requirements for each family registered with the team. By committing to a minimum level of volunteer involvement, we promote consistency and reliability in our volunteer workforce, which is essential for the successful implementation of our swim meets and social events.

Specifically, each family is required to commit to and fulfill a minimum of 7 shifts per season. 

• The specific minimum hour requirement will vary depending on the nature of the volunteer role.  

• Shifts can include food donations, but the number of food donations cannot exceed 2 per season.

• Post Season Requirement: Minimum of one shift per family, including but not limited to Prelims, Champs and All Stars (in addition to required 7 shifts)

Exceptions and Accommodations: Tallyn’s Reach Swim Team recognizes that individual circumstances may vary, and we strive to accommodate volunteers' needs to the best of our ability. Volunteers facing challenges in meeting the minimum requirements must discuss their situation with the Volunteer Coordinator immediately to explore possible accommodations.

Sanctions:  Should a family be negligent in completing the required amount of volunteer shifts, they agree their account will be charged $300 at the end of the season.
