How it works
- An organization or group can commit a certain number of volunteers per week for a season of a program. Maybe your company offers paid volunteer hours, or you have a big friend group that’s passionate about a specific program, such as cycling.
- Fill out our Adopt a Program Form below to commit members of your group to a program season (our seasons typically last about 8 weeks).
- Look through our current program volunteer opportunities to decide which program(s) you want to adopt!
- Our Operations Manager will be in touch to guide your group through the volunteer registration process and get you in the game!
- Regardless of how many people your group commits, you all will be creating opportunities and transforming lives through adaptive sports & recreation–you will be making a difference in the Richmond community!
Why adopt?
- Adopting a program helps ensure our programming happens every time that it is scheduled! If we don’t have enough volunteers, we may have to cancel a session, which in turn limits the access our members have to sports and recreation. Your weekly commitment is essential to keeping sports and recreation accessible in the Richmond area!
