Volunteering                    

One of the most important aspects of the success of the Crew program involves volunteer support from Parents, rowers, friends, alumni, and other family members. Volunteering with the Lake Braddock Crew community creates a wonderful opportunity to bond with your rower, learn about the sport and be a part of a vibrant rowing community. We need you! We have a job for every person and every schedule. We welcome your talents and ideas. Let us know if you have a particular interest or passion that you would like to share!

Here is where you can help:

Recruiting: Help man the fort during the Bruin blast, Bite of Braddock, homecoming parade and experience rowing day, open house.

Fundraising: Please take a look at the fundraising tab for details. In particular the Plant Sale, Letter Writing Campaign, Entertainment Book, Script and Corporate Fundraising.

Uniforms, Spirit wear: Help with sizing, distribution, sales.

Swim test: Help coaches clear our rowers for the water.

Pasta dinners, regatta food and the end of the year awards dinner: Help us feed our rowers and families while we communicate information about crew activities.

Serve on the board: Team up with other members of the LB crew boosters to help organize and support our rowers and coaches with logistics, administration and elbow grease.

Away regattas: Help with planning, supporting, feeding and chaperoning our rowers on away trips.

Regatta volunteering: Each family is required to cover one regatta volunteer position. This may be a LB Crew or VASRA job. Click here or see the Handbook for details on LB or VASRA jobs. This year, we will be using SignUp Genius to automate facilitate signup for Regatta volunteer positions.

We are currently working out this year's Regatta volunteer requirements, and will send out an email to the entire team when this information is available. Families should then sign up for an account. This will be a unique link to all the regatta jobs, with times, dates and other useful information. It is the families’ responsibility to choose one in order for their rower to remain in good standing and able to row. The site is very friendly, easy to use, has a swapping function and the ability to communicate with the regatta volunteer coordinator. It will even send you a reminder!

Questions: Iris Warren is our Regatta volunteer coordinator.  You may contact her at volunteer@bruincrew.com. Or, you can contact the VP of Administration at vpadmin@bruincrew.com
