Why volunteer?
Stirling Curling Club is a volunteer-run and volunteer-maintained club that relies on its members to volunteer throughout the year to keep our costs as low as possible.
Volunteer Year: September 1 – August 31
Your 4 volunteer hours must be completed during the annual volunteer year, which runs from September 1 through August 31.
There are many ways to earn your hours, including:
- Helping with club and facility maintenance
- Serving on the Board or participating in club committees
- Tending the bar during league play
- Helping at club events and bonspiels
- Assisting with other activities and tasks that support the club
Volunteer opportunities are posted on the bulletin boards at the club and on the website under Members Information → My Volunteer Interests when you log in to your SCC account.
Please note: Smart Serve certification is required to volunteer as a bartender.
Prefer Not to Volunteer? You Can Opt Out
If you choose not to complete volunteer hours, you can opt out during registration by paying the $150 volunteer opt-out fee.
If you do not opt out and your 4 volunteer hours are not completed by August 31, a $150 volunteer fee will be charged at registration for the following season.
Whether you volunteer your time or choose the opt-out option, your contribution helps support the Stirling Curling Club and our curling community.
