PROGRAM LOCATIONS
Program Coordinators & Volunteers
We work very closely with our partner secondary schools whereby teachers and administrators are involved in the coaching and supervising both on the ice and during our off-ice field trips. Our Program Coordinators are university students who have a connection or background in hockey.
Local volunteers and staff are vetted with criminal background checks and on-boarded with training about our program's specific delivery model—specifically, a relaxed, fun inclusive hockey environment where our main focus is learning how to skate and play the game. Our staff and volunteers as well as teachers have CPR/First Aid training.
Typically, we require a handful of volunteers (anywhere from 3-10) per program.
