Volunteer Opportunities

Click here for an event schedule and sign-up for any of the following volunteering events!

Hockey Concessions: on Friday, November 11th WTC will be working a concessions stand at the hockey game! This is an awesome way to help out the club. More funding means more of everything for this club!

RACE: RACE is a great program that pairs autistic youth with a runner to guide them through the picnic point trails. There's no better way to share the joy of running! Our last fall RACE will take place on November 12, at 9am.

Inter-Club Food Drive Competition: UW Track, Tri, Cycling, and Swimming clubs are partnering up to see who can donate the most food at the end of this month. The winner will do an Instagram takeover of the other clubs! Please bring any food or monetary donations to the Cow Frat (address is in the Slack).

Thursday Workout or *Optional Time Trial* (5k, 3k, mile, etc.)

Time Trial: If you choose to go this route and would like to run two time trials (one this week and one next week), I would recommend choosing a longer distance (5k or 3k) first and then a shorter distance (3k or mile) the following week. If you choose to run one time trial, pick the event that gets you the most excited to “race”!!
