OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Skate Winnipeg is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization. Family participation is required for the effective and successful operation of Skate Winnipeg.

The volunteer commitment per skating session is as follows:

  • Pre-junior, Star 1- 5, and Adult/Teen skaters enrolled in the Pre-Junior or STAR 1-5 program: 6  hours per skater
  • Star 6-Gold and Podium Pathway skaters, including Adult/Teen skaters in those programs: 10 hours per skater 
  • Families with more than one skater: 14 volunteer hours per family
  • ALL Skate Winnipeg members are required to volunteer at the Super Skate  Competition.
  • CANSkate program participants are always welcome and encouraged to volunteer, but volunteering is not required. However, if you register your child to participate in a CANSkate event at a Skate Winnipeg hosted competition, we will request a minimum of 2 volunteer hours to help ensure the event’s success and provide the best experience for your skater.

Please note: 

This commitment must be completed within the Skate Canada skating season, which runs from September 1st to August 31st. 

Families are welcome to connect with our Volunteer Coordinator at any time during the year if they are interested in a specific role or would like to learn about current volunteer opportunities. we are always happy to help match families with meaningful ways to support the club.

You can reach the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteercoordinator@skatewinnipeg.ca.
