Opportunity Details

Wake County Senior Games is an Olympic-style event designed to create year-round health promotion and competition for participants that are 50+ years old. The WCSG is hosted by various local businesses and municipalities, and rely heavily on volunteers to help us make these games a success. This portion of the event will include a basketball shooting competition!

Duties and Impact:

By volunteering for this event, you are helping to provide a platform for active adults to showcase their talents. As volunteers you would assist with several different jobs associated with this event and will be assigned upon your arrival. This may include:

Setting up and placing equipment, putting out tables, and helping staff get ready.
Participant check-in, giving out shirts, and handing out snacks.
Scoring/time clock operating (you will receive onsite training when you arrive).
Cleaning up (gathering and removing equipment, boxing up leftovers, etc.).
Finally, be ready to cheer on our athletes! Invite your friends to come watch this amazing event!

Work Environment:

Volunteers will be working inside a gymnasium. Volunteers will be on their feet a majority of the time. There will be a restroom on site.

Requirements:

Ages 16+. Those under 18 must have a parent/guardian or a club/school adult representative present.
Complete a Wake County Senior Games waiver. Those under 18 will need a parent/guardian signature.
Volunteers must have good eyesight and be able to continuously follow the game.
Volunteers must be able to do lots of standing, walking and bending over.

Other Instructions:

Wear non scuff tennis shoes and dress for being in a gymnasium. Volunteers must also wear the shirt provided to them at check-in.
We provide some drinks and snacks, however, if you have special diet needs, please bring your own food. Meals are not provided; you may want to pack a small cooler.
Although we hope to stick to this event's timeframe, be aware that we may go over, or even be done early, depending on number of athletes that register.
