The driving forces behind the NSCD are the energetic volunteers
who teach individuals with disabilities to alpine ski, cross-country
ski, snowboard and snowshoe. New volunteers attend training
clinics to learn about adaptive skiing techniques and teaching
individuals with disabilities. Intermediate ski or snowboard
skills are required. Benefits include free skiing at Winter
Park Resort, discounts, the chance to get PSIA-certified,
and continuing education clinics. For information about commitment
levels and benefits, click here.
Volunteering with this program provides the opportunity to
witness world-class adapted ski racers during training and
competition. Competition Program volunteers assist coaches
with training site preparation, race course maintenance, and
course safety. This physically demanding program includes
transporting training equipment on lifts and trails. Volunteers
are needed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays,
and Sundays. Volunteers must possess advanced skiing skills
and be able to commit to 16 days.
Event Volunteers have a wide variety of job tasks. As an Event Volunteer you may choose one or more area, mix and match duties, in order to obtain your number of volunteer days. Silent Auction Volunteers aid in soliciting and obtaining high-end auction items. They attend the 3 major silent auctions where they will help orchestrate the set up, manning of auction tables and breakdown. Event Administrative Volunteers help with the following pre and post event responsibilities such as: photo copying, stuffing packets, assembling goodie bags, gathering event items, creating simple signage or display boards and helping with other event details. Intermediate computer skills are a must and creative flair is a plus. National Programs Volunteers help set up, operate and break down our Sports Camps. These free, one day, interactive camps allow kids with disabilities, either physical or developmental, to experience first hand the art of sport.
