CYR is a parent-driven organization, from volunteers who serve as our Board of Directors, to the regatta food team, each volunteer helps CYR run smoothly and efficiently for the athletes. CYR is a growing organization that requires a lot of complex logistics for making things happen which is why we need every family to contribute. Volunteering gives parents the opportunity to meet each other, build the parent community, develop an appreciation for how hard the athletes and their coaches work every day, and have fun.  

Parent Volunteer Requirements: 

Each family must volunteer 8 hours each season (16 hours total), optionally if you cannot meet your volunteer requirements there is a $500 donation requirement in lieu.
