What are volunteers?
People who give freely of their time and talent to a worthwhile group or cause.
A volunteer is someone who believes that people make a difference and is willing to prove it.
What is an AYSO volunteer?
A coach, a referee, a registrar, a fundraiser, a field marker, a publicist,
a treasurer — many people, all contributing their time and efforts to make AYSO a great program for our soccer-playing
kids.
Why does AYSO need volunteers?
AYSO needs volunteers because people power runs AYSO. Volunteers strengthen
AYSO by giving their time and energy, their ideas and ideals. Volunteers make AYSO happen.
Who can be an AYSO volunteer?
Almost anyone can volunteer. Moms, dads, sisters, brothers, grandparents,
even friends. We need women and men, young, middle-aged and “young at heart” folks. AYSO wants volunteers who
want to help make our soccer program a fun experience for kids.
Everyone plays in AYSO, and everyone has something special
to contribute to the program.
