The driving force behind the NSCD is a team of more than 1,300 hands-on volunteers who dedicate countless hours to helping people with a disability to ski, snowboard, play team sports and achieve their personal best.

Without our volunteers, the NSCD would not be the program it is today: the largest, most successful program of its kind in the world. The National average of volunteerism for any given non-profit is approximately 2.5 years.  NSCD volunteers, on average, remain with the organization for over 8 years.

Black Diamond volunteer instructors dedicate 10 full days on the slopes and maintain the NSCD's standard of excellence by attending classroom seminars, on-the-hill clinics and continuing education courses. Their devotion keeps NSCD instruction at the top of the field and many volunteers say NSCD programs are one of the most rewarding aspects of their lives.

In addition to teaching lessons, NSCD volunteers set up courses for the competitions, help students with their adaptive equipment and assist with fundraising events and office projects. The options are limitless, and the NSCD works with volunteers to find opportunities that match individual schedules and interests. The benefits of volunteering are significant, including eligibility for season passes to Winter Park Resort, pro deals on ski and board equipment, improving your personal skiing and/or riding skills, and the first-hand experience of helping people with disabilities enjoy the adventures of mountain recreation. On the front range, individual volunteers as well as corporate partner volunteer groups assist with NSCD Sports Camps and other fundraising events.
