Volunteers
We are excited for the upcoming LASA Raptors Swim/Dive Season. Our team continues to grow in size and success! Now is the time to make sure all of our volunteer positions are filled for the season. If your son or daughter is participating in the 2022-23 season, please find a way to support the team through the following open volunteer opportunities. As you all know it takes a village to support our swimmers and many of these activities cannot happen without dedicated volunteers. To those of you who have already committed to volunteering, THANK YOU!!
Please respond directly to Julie McDonald at [email protected] if you are interested in any of these positions!
