Volunteering

Riverton Calisthenics Club is a not-for-profit organisation and is reliant on members volunteering to ensure that all aspects of the club are run smoothly. Financial members (parents / guardians) are required to complete a minimum of 3 hours’ volunteer time per family each year for the overall running of the club. These hours may be completed during several events, or at one single event. Financial members are encouraged to volunteer for more than 3 hours per year where possible. Members may complete their hours by attending committee meetings. The Volunteer Levy is invoiced at the start of every year (or your commencement). In Term 4, the Volunteer levy will be refunded to those members who have completed their volunteer hours throughout the year.
