LRA Volunteer Information

Volunteering matters!                                                            

It’s the time, resources and energy of our volunteers that makes LRA successful as a non-profit organization.

Association Fundraising / Volunteering

To sustain our success as an organization, the LRA depends on the parent/guardian of a player or player if over the age of 18, to volunteer for Association-related volunteer activities each season. The LRA Board of Directors has made some changes to the volunteer policy and requirements. Volunteer opportunities will be communicated to the membership throughout the season.

2022-2023 Volunteer / Fundraising Requirements

• Cash for Christmas Raffle.
• Each family will be required to sell 2 books of 10 tickets per child, up to a maximum of 4 books for those with multiple children in Ringette.
• Volunteer Commitment
• The LRA volunteer policy requires that a parent/guardian of a player or player if over the age of 18, must complete volunteer shifts to meet 5 volunteer credits per season to a maximum of 10 per family.  The policy applies to players registered in U 10 to U 19 divisions.  A separate policy is in place for Open players.  See Operating Policies - Section 13.
