Who Can Volunteer?

Anyone can apply to become a volunteer.  Whatever talents or skills you have, we can use them! Across the country, volunteers are grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, retirees, community leaders, former Apaches participants, friends, neighbors, and more.  Any community member who wishes to become a volunteer may apply.

All parents of children involved in the Andover Apaches are strongly encouraged to volunteer.  As a parent, volunteer, you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your child in a safe, fun-filled environment.  Oftentimes, parent and child social lives parallel each other.  Volunteering allows your life and your child's life to intersect on common ground, with shared interests and goals. 

On rare occasions, the Andover Apaches, may deny individuals the privilege of volunteering for reasons, past or present that may be detrimental to the positive development of young people, other volunteers, and/or Apaches organization.

What Can I Volunteer to Do?

No experience is required to become a volunteer.  Most of the volunteer opportunities require little or no training. The Andover Apaches will provide you with any necessary training (as well as support and encouragement), as they deem necessary.  The best volunteers are those who are able to bring added enjoyment to the game simply be being themselves.  What you see during the Apaches games is a mere fraction of what you can do as a volunteer.
