Volunteering

Seven jobs that need doing

Not "get involved". Actual jobs, with hours, so you can tell in ten seconds whether one of them is you.

The jobs

Pick one

On-ice volunteer

At a camp

Four days, 8:00 to 3:00

Skate with a group under the coaching staff. You need to be able to skate. You do not need to have played, and you do not need to know any drills.

Gear fitting volunteer

First morning

One morning, 7:30 to 11:00

Measure children and fit equipment. This is the single most useful three hours anybody gives us and it needs no hockey knowledge at all.

Registration desk

Each morning

One hour a day, 7:45 to 8:45

Tick names off, take waivers, hand out name tags, point families at the stands. Good if you are calm with people.

Lunch and logistics

Each day

Two hours over lunch

Set up, hand out, clear away. Unglamorous, essential, and the part campers remember as the loud bit.

Photographer

Any day

As long as you like

We publish real photographs and we credit every one. If you shoot, we want you. Consent rules apply and we will brief you on them.

Translator

Before a camp

An hour, from home

Help us write to a family in their own language. Any language spoken in Toronto is useful and this can be done entirely by email.

Come and watch one

You are welcome to come to a camp, stand at the boards for an hour and see what it is. Nobody will make you commit to anything.
