Volunteerism is at the cornerstone of what makes Huntley Curling Club such a great facility. Volunteers are an essential component of the operation of our curling club, as it enhances every member’s experience. Please review our Volunteer Policy.
Each year adult full-season members are expected to volunteer for a minimum of 6 hours with the club, 3 hours for adult half-season members, or pay the opt-out fee.
Members are encouraged to check our website often for upcoming volunteer opportunities. Newsletter emails will also include information about volunteer opportunities as they come up.
Fill in this form to log the hours that you have completed for volunteer duty.
If you have any questions about volunteering or just want to put your name in for anything, please send a message, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Off-Season Volunteer Opportunities
A variety of opportunities arise to help around the club that we would generally like to complete between seasons. Many of these tasks involve multiple days of work. If you can commit to multiple days, then that is very helpful but even a half-day here or there is much appreciated. If you find an opportunity that you wish to help with, send an email to the Volunteer Director indicating which one(s) and how much time you can offer. Someone will get back to you with more concrete details.
