Want to Lend a Hand? We Welcome Your Help!
Langley Skating Club is a non-profit organization that relies on the dedication of our volunteers. From music playing to competitions, test days, ice shows, and club events, every helping hand makes a difference. Volunteering is a great way to support your skater, meet other families, and help keep our programs running smoothly.
Volunteer Hour Plan
Each skating family is expected to complete volunteer hours based on their skater's level. Hours are divided into Music Playing, Flexible Club Events, and Ice Show Support to help ensure all club operations are adequately staffed throughout the season.
Credit System: Each 15 minutes is 1 Credit. If you volunteer for a 45 minute music playing session, you will earn 3 Credits.
| Skater Level | Total Hours | Music Playing | Flexible Events | Ice Show Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CanSkate | 2 Hours (8 Credits) | — | — | 2 Hours |
| Junior / Junior Academy | 10 Hours (40 Credits) | 3 Hours | 3 Hours | 4 Hours |
| Intermediate | 24 Hours (96 Credits) | 10 Hours | 6 Hours | 8 Hours |
| Senior | 26 Hours (104 Credits) | 12 Hours | 6 Hours | 8 Hours |
Volunteer Bond Program
A volunteer bond of $25 per required volunteer hour will be assigned to each skater's account at the beginning of the season.
| Skater Level | Required Hours | Bond Value |
|---|---|---|
| CanSkate | 2 Hours | $50 |
| Junior / Junior Academy | 10 Hours | $250 |
| Intermediate | 24 Hours | $600 |

- The volunteer bond will only be processed at the end of the season if required volunteer hours have not been completed.
- If the club is unable to host a competition, volunteer requirements may be prorated accordingly.
- If your family is unable to complete volunteer hours for a valid reason, please contact the Board. Requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
- Families hosting international students through a BC public school homestay program may request a volunteer bond waiver by submitting a valid Homestay Placement Confirmation.
Important Information
- Senior sessions experienced a shortage of music volunteers last season. Parents from other levels are encouraged to help whenever possible.
