| Are You a Lifeguard?
Lifeguard Volunteers Wanted
|
Lifeguards wanted! As part of our partnership with the Boston Public Schools, we would like to offer field trips to the boathouse for participating schools. The Boston Public Schools have a requirement for all water activities that a lifeguard be present for the outings. So, we are asking for any CRI members who are also current lifeguards to help out with these school outings. Most of the field trips would take place on Fridays, from 12-2:30, but some may be scheduled at other times. If you are a current lifeguard and would like to help out, please contact Ellen Minzner, Director of Outreach, at ellen@communityrowing.org. |
