Working closely with the NWBA Board, Division Coordinators, Tournaments Coordinator, and Concession Coordinator, the Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for promoting a league-wide culture that values and rewards volunteer participation from all NWBA parents/guardians, and from the local community, as needed, to help run NWBA practices and games, as well as special events including league ceremonies, jamborees, and tournaments.

Responsibilities include:

  • Communicating and promoting the need for volunteers for both team responsibilities (field prep, scorekeeping, etc.) and league-wide events (including Jamborees, Opening Ceremonies, Photo Day, Tournaments, Rally Cap Day, and Closing Ceremonies).
  • Following-up with NWBA parents/guardians and others who have shown interest in volunteering for the league, and matching them up to volunteer roles.
  • Maintaining a database of current season parent/guardian volunteers and tracking their league-level hours.
  • Working with the Website Coordinator to communicate and maintain all volunteer guidelines and policies on the NWBA website.
  • Working with the Tournaments Coordinator and with the Concession Coordinator to recruit, organize, and track hours for parent/guardian volunteers at each NWBA tournament and league-wide event.
  • Collecting all Volunteer Deposit cheques from Division Coordinators, and depositing them, if necessary (i.e., if parents/guardians did not meet their volunteer requirements for the season).
  • Organizing an event (or sending out a league-wide email) to recognize and honor exceptional volunteers who have gone above and beyond each season.
