Volunteering

LVDA, We Heard You!

It's hard enough to carve out the time to volunteer, but connecting with show managers and scheduling should just be ... easier. And now it is! 

Sign-Up Genius

We're going to be using Sign-Up Genius to recruit Volunteers for our Schooling Shows and other available volunteer jobs.  Sign-Up Genius lets you pick when you volunteer, how many hours, and what job you'd like to do. Instantly! We'll be posting Sign-Up Genius links on our Facebook page and Centerline News.

Wait, We Need Different Kinds of Hours? 

Not any more! No more "hands-on" hours requirement: all Volunteer Hours are created equal. Are you serving on a Committee? Or doing data entry for our Awards Committee, or maybe working on the website? Can you powerwash our filthy dressage ring (power-washer provided!) or help us sort through and re-sell donations? All of those hours will count toward your Year-End Award Volunteer hours. 

And we'll make it as easy as possible by listing those jobs on Sign-Up Genius. Sign-Up Genius lets you pick when you volunteer, how many hours, and what job you'd like to do. Instantly! 

Volunteer hours are recorded "live" on our website, so it will be easy to keep track throughout the show season. 

• Some jobs are specialized and require skills (Show Secretary/Manager, or Scribe), some can be trained on the spot. 

• Some are for the more outdoorsy, outgoing people (Ring Steward), some might be better suited for a sedenatary person (Scorer). 

• And if you have a unique skill that can add value to our organization, drop us a line! We'd love to hear your ideas and give you volunteer hours for your contributions! 

Keep an eye out for Centerline News in your email box and watch our FaceBook page! Sign-Up Genius will be available as we have volunteer jobs that need to be filled!
