Fundraising/Work Opportunities

Information about the different fundraising/work opportunities Northern Lights offers is listed below.  These positions will not be open for registration until after tryouts and team selections have been made.  Sign-up will open on November 18 and will close on November 25.  This information is meant as a guideline for parents so they know what kind of financial help is available.

To be clear, these are opportunities to work to help offset club fees for the year.  While it is true that Northern Lights does have an annual volunteering requirement, working these jobs will not earn you credit towards that requirement.

Midwest Volleyball Concession Area – Players

Players will have the opportunity to work in the Midwest Volleyball Concession area. Players will be credited at the rate of $13.00 per hour to their account. Generally the times available are shifts from:

7 am – 2 pm

2 pm – 9 pm

10 am – 3 pm

12 pm – 6 pm

Players must be on a 14’s or older age level team in order to work the concessions.

Front Door Security/Ticket Booth Worker

During the days we operate events, we have a person stationed at the front door to help assure everyone that is supposed to pay admission does, to keep coolers out of the building, and to direct incoming people. We will staff two Front Door Security workers for each shift – one will handle the security and the other will take money for admission.

We do ask that you be willing to work in either position if you express interest in this job.  Basically, we will hire two people from those we accept per shift – one to work security and one to work the ticket booth.  This will also provide flexibility in case one person needs to cover for another for a brief period of time.

Parents are required for this position and it pays a rate of $25.00 per hour.  There are generally two shifts each day during playdays with two waves:

6:50 am – 12:30 pm

12:30 pm – 6:00 pm

Northern Lights does occasionally have days where only one shift (or one extended shift) is needed.  This will be reflected on the schedule before committing to shifts.

Sign-up will open November 18 and will close on November 25.
