Volunteering at CYC

Volunteer: Juniors Open Sailing
The Friday Open Sailing for Kids program is a volunteer parent-run program and is free with CYC Family Membership or Sail Camp Registration. This is a great opportunity for kids to get out on the water and become comfortable in a sail boat. We need parent volunteers that will volunteer as a lead. They will be responsible for ensuring each parent signs a waiver and to help kids in and out of the Optis. This program is ran entirely by volunteers. Notify the office at office@cycseattle.org if have any interests in volunteering!
