Parent Volunteers

We need volunteers! The following is a list of volunteer activities the Squadron requires from time to time:

Phone Team

If a "phone-out" is required to find volunteers or notify families of Squadron events, a main contact will call a number of volunteers who, in turn, call four to six other volunteers, and so on, until everyone is called.

Transportation

Drivers as required for Squadron activities when other means such as buses are not appropriate.

Fund-raiser Team

Fund-raisers, soliciting donations, and applying for grants are essential to keep our Squadron going. Volunteers are needed to organize, administer and oversee these very important activities.

Chaperon

For various functions such as dances, parents are appreciated as chaperons. This does not require an individual to stay for the entire function but rather to take a "shift".

Selection Board Interviewers

Interviews are held in January to prepare those cadets who have applied for summer scholarship programs. Interviewers are provided with the questions and answers, and help the cadets to improve on their interview skills.

Sub-Committees

Sub-committees are established from time to undertake specific tasks or projects and assist in the regular functioning of the Squadron Sponsoring Committee. Parents are encouraged to participate in the various sub-committees that may interest them.

Technology

The assistance of technical people who have the skills, time and resources to assist in the setting up, repairing, and maintenance of the Squadron's equipment is very important to the operations of the Squadron. These items include computers, printers, faxes, scanners, copiers, etc. The Squadron offices also have a computer network which links the Squadron's computers, assisting Squadron staff in producing the documents required for operations and training. This network sometimes requires technical support to maintain or upgrade it.
