Everest Youth Hockey Association

Purpose:
To ensure that EYH continues to function as a non-profit organization that strives to improve & increase the opportunities for families to participate in hockey.

General:
In non-profit sports organizations, the membership must make financial and time contributions in order for the association to succeed. The financial contribution is achieved through registration fees and fundraising. The time contribution is achieved through required volunteer credits. With the hard work and dedication of all the associations' members, EYH will continue to grow and ensure hockey is enjoyed by all participants.

Work Hours:
1. Each family is responsible for a total of 25 hours...10 hours for the car raffle and 15 hours for general events. The ONLY exceptions are for:
           a. families with skaters only in the mini-mite program. Members with only mini-mite skaters are not required to perform volunteer hours but should be encouraged to still volunteer
           b. Head coaches
2. Hours can be earned from May through March. 
3. Volunteer hours must be completed or scheduled to be completed by the WAHA Play Down weekend (early February). A $50 per hour fee will be enforced for any hours not completed or scheduled by Play Downs. If neither of these is met by Play Downs then the skater(s) will not be allowed on the ice for play downs or any game afterwards until requirements are met.
4. If a family joins our club later in the season, their required volunteer hours may be reduced. A family member should express their concerns to the volunteer hour’s coordinator and the volunteer hour’s coordinator will forward concerns to the current board for the board to vote on reducing the required volunteer hours.
5. The Following association positions entitle the holder of the position to a credit of 15 hours toward their family’s hour requirement:
            a. Board Members
            b. Committee Chairs
            c. Team Managers
           
Tracking Hours:
1. Volunteer hours should be recorded on the volunteer hours reporting form (available on the website) and turned in no later than two weeks after volunteering. During the off season, the form can be emailed (volunteerhours@everestyouthhockey.org) or mailed to the volunteer Coordinator. Please complete the volunteer reporting form even if you have met your required hours. We want to track all the credits that families contribute to determine if the required credits amount is appropriate.
2. Volunteer reporting forms are located on the website under the volunteer hours tab and should be available at each of the events.
3. Members are responsible for signing up for their hours through DIBS. Once the reporting form is received by the coordinator, your DIBS session will be marked complete.
4. When filling out sheets, please, print neatly. If your form cannot be read, you will NOT get credit.
A volunteer hours tracking outline is available on the website under the volunteer hours tab. It is your responsibility to verify accuracy. Please contact the volunteer hour’s coordinator via email if you notice a discrepancy @ volunteerhours@everestyouthhockey.org
