why volunteer ?

Volunteers are needed to run all of our events.  Without volunteers, there would be no events. We need your time, not your money.  Please review the many volunteer jobs there are on Uplifter.

our new and improved volunteer tier system:

Our club runs on the strength of our volunteers and our volunteers are truly amazing!

(CANSKATE, SKATING ACADEMY, & TEEN/ADULT ARE EXEMPT FROM VOLUNTEERING FEE)

NEW THIS 2026-27 SEASON - all private skater members are required to donate an item valued at a minimum of $25 towards our silent auction held in December at our annual Ice Show. This item must be new in package with tags attached (gift cards welcome). These items will be collected by our event coordinator/volunteers no later than November 15. Members that choose not to donate a gift (and have completed their volunteer hours) will have $50 held back from their volunteer credit at the end of the season.

Parents from Junior up will pay $350 and are required to complete 6 hours (minimum) to get their money credited back to them. Families will only pay once, regardless of the amount of skaters in the family registered for sessions. Parents will pay the volunteer fee for the skater at the highest level in the family and are expected to complete the hours that correlate with that level.

**In January, skaters who move from Skating Academy to Junior or new Private skaters to the club will have to pay a volunteer fee of $250 and complete 4 hours of volunteer work to be eligible for a credit back.

**In April, skaters who move from Skating Academy to Junior or new Private skaters to the club will have to pay a volunteer fee of $150 and complete 2 hours of volunteer work to be eligible for a credit back.

**All skaters that register in Private skating for the first time in the summer months July & August, are exempt from volunteer fees until the Fall season begins in September.

All credits for volunteer hours will be done after the end of the Spring skating session in late June or early July.

If your skater is not returning to skating in the Fall and you have completed your volunteer hours, a refund of your volunteer fee may be requested by email to the registrar before the end of the Spring skating term.

There are almost 200 volunteer positions and over 550 hours available. First come, first pick. All volunteer positions are in Uplifter. Sign into account>add volunteer position. These positions can be accessed throughout the skating season.

The Skaters at Inlet Skating Club thank all parent volunteers for all your time and commitment
