VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

The Vancouver Thunderbirds rely upon our fundraising efforts to ensure our ability to provide excellent coaching staff, facilities and resources for all our members. As such, it is an expectation that athletes (and their parents, especially for our younger athletes) agree to be called upon for assistance at 2-3 club functions per year and 10 hours (minimum) of volunteer work.

Online membership purchases do not require a $75 deposit cheque. Instead, a $75 fee will be processed in November if volunteer hours are not completed between January-November of each year.

(Please note: there is a family volunteer fee maximum of $150).
