Volunteers

Dickinson Amateur Hockey Association Volunteer Policy

DAHA is an organization run solely by the volunteer efforts of parents. For each child signed up to skate, a parent is required to perform a number of volunteer hours. The DAHA volunteer/concession stand policy effective is designed to give families flexibility of how they choose to perform their hours. The DAHA Board is responsible for the maintenance and adherence to this procedure. New volunteer opportunities may be added and approved at DAHA board meetings. For 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U and 14U Families 20 hours per skater, maximum of 30 hours for families with multiple skaters. At the time of registration each family is required to have a card on file through Crossbar with the expectation for completing required volunteer hours, 10/15 ($400 single family / $600 multiplayer family) for first half and 10/15 ($400 single family / $600 multiplayer family) second half. Breakdown: you are required to complete 10/15 hours of volunteer time by December 31st and another 10/15 hours by April 1st of the following year otherwise your card on file will be charged for the remaining hours. If you complete the hours by the deadline your card on file will not be charged. Each Family must sign up for one open skate and one practice concession stand slot at time of registration

The DAHA board may issue a certificate of exemption for volunteers filling roles which may have a time commitment which will be at least equal to the amount of required hours. A list of volunteers shall be reviewed at each Monthly board meeting to approve hours logged by volunteers and confirm that those with exempt status are meeting basic expectations of their role.
