Volunteer service requirement and Open Positions

OPEN POSITIONS &  REQUIRED VOLUNTEER SERVICE

The Monona Grove Soccer Club requires the participation of its member families to help with the functions necessary for running the volunteer-led club. MGSC recognizes that all of its members have their own time priorities and constraints. It further recognizes that some families have the time and the desire to provide more volunteer hours than others and this is always welcome! To assist in keeping club costs low, each family is required to complete a total of 2 service hours during the entire season (fall & spring). The service hour requirements are per family, despite how many children a family has playing in the club.

Below is a list of open paid positions that are most in need and that will fulfill a family’s volunteer obligation. Members interested in these options must commit to the entire season (fall & spring):

  • Field Liner assistants (includes field lining requirement, training provided.)
  • Club Secretary (Board of Director position, 1 year term)
  • Registrar apprentice (Will work with the Club Registrar to learn the duties of registrar. This position requires a commitment to serve as club registrar for the 24-25 season at minimum, paid position)
  • Concessions Manager

Volunteer positions can be found via the SignUp Genius link below. Additional volunteer opportunities will be advertised via email, posted on our social media pages and via SignUp Genius prior to and during the soccer season. Volunteer service hours can be performed by any member of the family as long as the activity selected is age appropriate.
