OFSC Clubs: Powered by Permits - Driven by Volunteers! The OFSC’s 217 community based snowmobile clubs are run by volunteers. These men and women, young people, couples and families are the backbone of organized snowmobiling in Ontario. Their ongoing efforts and contributions are responsible for building, operating and maintaining OFSC snowmobile trails, as well as providing many club and community activities and events. Volunteering for your local club is a great way to get involved, have fun and make a big difference for snowmobling! Who volunteers? - Of our current team of over 5,000 active club volunteers, approximated 25% are occasional helpers that serve just a few hours most seasons(under 10 hours). Family members are the core of our volunteers and we have growing participation from high school students completing their 40 hours of community service. Increasing numbers of retiring "Boomers" who are looking for new experiences and challenges are also joing Team OFSC. If you have an interest in working with volunteers... supporting their work and helping them get trained, there are a host of opportunities available for you too! What positions are currently available? - It's best to contact the District Volunteer Coordinator or your local club to find out exactly what help is needed. Remember that some tasks can be completed "virtually" - data entry, updating website, doing communiction and marketing projects, or other necessary work that can be done from your computer at home. Every club would appreciate more help; it is our goal to be in touch with you as quickly as possible so you can lend a hand as best suits your time and interests. Club Volunteers - They're just like you!Combined, the total number of hours served by club volunteers exceeds 3/4 of a million hours. Sounds like a lot of time....but a quarter of all our volunteers help the club less that 10 hours each season. Families across the province choose to be involved in organized snowmobiling because the benefits motivate them to find time for for volunteering as they balance their busy lives. |
