Instructions to Submit a Volunteer Application
Returning volunteers, please note that the volunteer registration process has changed slightly for the 2019-2020 season. The registration is now a two-step process. You will select your volunteer role and complete the volunteer application in your account, the same as last year. You will then receive an email from Sterling Volunteers to complete the background check on their website, in a separate step. See instructions below.

Use a computer or laptop to complete the volunteer application, the application cannot be completed on a mobile device.

To submit your volunteer application, first log into your account and click the Volunteer tab on the My Account menu.
1. Click the Find Volunteer Roles button.

You might be taken to a page that does not show your desired volunteer role. Be sure to click on the Show More button. This will allow you to choose a program followed by available volunteer roles.

• Coaches and Team Parents, you must select your volunteer role within the program in which your player is registered (Core Program or Winter Indoor Program).
