Volunteer Opportunities

We have several volunteer opportunities available for members of our community and cross country program to contribute to its success. Please see below for mor information on which activities you are able to participate in.

Spaghetti Dinners

Two to four families work together to organize spaghetti dinners prior to each meet for team members. These dinners can take place at a home, or community space and are a wonderful opportunity to give back to the program. Thank you for the Mittlestadt family for putting together the following recommendations for hosting a dinner: Tips for Spaghetti Dinner
