Volunteer Work Depoit

Volunteer Work Deposit

NWRAA is a volunteer-based organization, and we rely on Parents involvement. We need Parents to volunteer, whether it is becoming a Head Coach, working a concession shift, or working a gate during a tournament, your involvement is important.

A Volunteer Work Deposit (VWD) fee of $25.00 is added to each participant during registration. The VWD is refunded after the completion of your work shift or your assignment of becoming a Head Coach. If you are unavailable to volunteer your VWD is used for your buyout, and you will not receive a refund. There will be no formal Concession/Gate Work Schedule. Parents will have the opportunity to coordinate a work shift which best fits their schedule. Typical work shift is 3.5 hours.
