Our events can be busy, loud, active, and fast-moving. The best members of this team are people who enjoy that environment and don't need to be repeatedly reminded to stay involved. If you see kids who need direction, equipment that needs to be moved, an activity that needs help, or an area that needs to be cleaned up, you're willing to jump in. We're looking to build a reliable group of people we can confidently call when it's time to make an event happen.
