CSSC volunteering is open to anyone eligible to be a CSSC member.
You don't need previous experience or be a sports expert to get involved with a CSSC club or association. No matter what your background, you can volunteer - which is good news as being a volunteer can and does bring many benefits!
As a volunteer for CSSC, you can get involved and contribute in any number of ways for as much or as little time as you wish. There's a wide range of volunteering opportunities for people to fill, from small to large tasks as well as designated roles, e.g. leading or supporting an event, an activity or helping another volunteer or member of CSSC staff in carrying out their role. You can volunteer with a National, Regional, Area or sporting body or on an individual basis directly through Head Office.
