 Looking for a Few Good Volunteers
Did you know some of the people you make daily contact with at the Rockwell Collins Recreation Center are volunteers? Our volunteers range in age from eighteen to over eighty and provide many necessary and helpful services with responsibilities and hours that vary widely. No doubt, you've met some of the volunteers at the Front Desk as they greet you upon check-in or you might have met a volunteer when you dropped your child off in the Rec Room. But did you know we have volunteers who also help with light cleaning tasks and general straightening of the common areas at the gym?
Speaking of volunteers, we have several volunteer positions available. People volunteer with us for a number of reasons; some to serve their community, others for an avenue of eligibility for membership, some enjoy the interaction with our members.
If you have a few hours a week that you'd like to volunteer at the Rockwell Collins Recreation Center, or know someone else who would be interested, please drop by the Front Desk and ask for an application! We'd love to have you join our team. |
