Volunteer

Would you like to volunteer to help The Villages Sailing Club? 

Here are some ways you may be able to volunteer your time:

Volunteer coordinator

Coffee responsibilities for our monthly meetings

Special events coordinator:

·         Outdoor Expo Feb/Mar

·         Look for other Villages events that we might want to have a presence at

·         Work with volunteer coordinator

Member Outreach Committee: Contacting new members, or members who haven’t been active for some time

·         Engage with them, either by phone or in person

·         Suggest ways the club can help them, or they can help the club

·         Suggest they attend our club social events and/or meetings

Windward Guides: For sailors who have experience as boat owners (either past or present) who are willing to do one or more of the following. (Note: You don't need to be a full-time resident of The Villages to be a Windward Guide, and you don't need to commit to any time schedule - the idea is that anyone who is available can help out a member when they need it.):

·         Share your knowledge

·         Mentor new sailors or new boat owners

·         Help a prospective boat owner find the boat that’s right for them to buy

·         Help a new owner set up their boat and learn how to rig and maintain it

·         Teach a new owner how to sail their boat

·         Help a boat owner with occasional maintenance

·         One member of the group will be the coordinator: first point-of-contact who will match up boat owners with members who have the right skills and availability for their needs

Technical Help:

·         Help run our annual survey of member needs

·         Help expand and administer club availability on social media

·         Help administer our website
