                          Volunteer Requirements

                           


                          The Steveston Judo Club is a non-profit organization operated

                          entirely by volunteers including its coaches, instructors and executive

                          members. Class fees are kept to a minimum with the expectation that members

                          and their families support the club through a commitment of

                          volunteered time.


                          At the start of each season, club members (judoka) include postdated

                          volunteer deposit cheques with their class fees. These volunteer

                          cheques are kept until the end of the judo season. All deposit volunteer cheques

                           are returned at the end of the season if the judoka family has met their volunteer

                           commitment of time. Cheques will not be returned (and are subsequently cashed) for

                          those families who do not meet the requirement. It is important to

                          note that the goal of the club is to have volunteers rather than funds

                          from cashed volunteer cheques. There are many opportunities throughout

                          the judo season to volunteer for. . Please note that there are age requirements

                          for many of the volunteer events as well as job requirement information. These

                          are put in place for a variety of reasons, including safety.


                          E-mails are sent out in advance of approaching volunteer

                          opportunities with the instructions on how to sign-up. Currently the

                          club is using an on-line sign-up program. Reminder e-mails of the

                          “task” you have signed-up for are sent 2-3 days before the event.

                          Each volunteer event is given a “credit” amount. This amount varies

                          depending on the volunteer task. By the end of the season, you are

                          required to complete 20 credits plus 2 Summer Bingo credits.


                          It is important that you ensure that you receive credit for each

                          volunteer task that you are at. A “sign-in sheet” will be at each

                          event for you to sign upon arrival. You will not receive credit unless

                          this sheet has been signed. so please ensure that you inquire about

                          the sheet when you go to volunteer at an event. A list of all credited volunteer

                          time will be kept by the club’s “Volunteer Coordinator” and made available

                          upon request to the volunteer.


                          For this season, you will be required to submit 3 volunteer deposit

                          cheques (two for $200 and one for $100 for a combined $500 total). At the end

                          of the season, partial credit will be given for those families who volunteered their

                          time but did not meet the minimum requirement. For full return ($500) you must

                          complete 20 credits plus 2 Summer Bingo credits. Deposit Cheque returns will

                          be given based on the following:

                           $100 will be deducted if you do not complete your summer Bingo Credits

                           $100 will be deducted for each 5 credits, or part thereof, you do not complete.

                           $100 will be deducted for each volunteer event you signed up for but did not attend. 

                           $100 will be deducted for each volunteer event you sign up for but cancel less than one week in advance.


                          ***Note: Appeals can be made to the club for consideration.
