Be an AYSO volunteer!
Why? Because we can't survive without you. AYSO Region 24 is an all-volunteer organization - the fees we charge pay strictly for uniforms, equipment, and other expenses. Organizing a soccer program for over 1,200 kids is an enormous undertaking made possible only through the dedicated efforts of people like you. All households with a child in the program are asked to provide one volunteer. Volunteers without a child in the program are also welcome.
How much time is required? We have jobs to suit all schedules and talents. Time commitment can be as little as a few hours on one day; some jobs can be done at home.
How do I sign up? All individuals who volunteer in any capacity must submit a volunteer application. Parents are asked to submit this application at annual registration in May.
To do so:
- Complete the volunteer application using BlueSombrero, our online registration service. The application requires you to give three references, including a personal reference, a professional reference and a reference from any prior volunteer experience with youth.
- Print two copies of the application. You may wish to print a third copy for your records.
- Bring both copies of the application plus your driver's license or state photo ID to registration in person.
Remember: If you have completed the online application process to be an AYSO volunteer, you will not be officially registered until your application is signed by the CVPA, Jackie Hull, who will check your proper form of personal identification.
