About this disability events
Come volunteer with us at our Adapted Ice Skate event on Friday, December 29 from 5:00pm-8:30pm at the Medstar Iceplex in Ballston. This volunteer opportunity supports a handicap event for individuals with disabilities. We are asking that volunteers must commit to the full timeframe of the event, which is 5:00pm-8:30pm, and be at least 16 years old. Skate rentals will be provided to volunteers for free that do not have their own skates during the event.
We are looking for on-ice support and off-ice support for this evening of ice skating, and you will have different roles based on what you choose.
On-ice support – volunteers should be comfortable skating on the ice as your role will be to support novice or new to skating participants who may benefit from physical support as well as positive encouragement.
Off-ice support – greeters who point participants in the right direction for the event, run the registration table where participants will sign-in, assist with getting skates, and help with the flow of skaters on and off the ice.
*Please Note* There are a limited number of non-skating positions.
You will receive orientation and assignments prior to the start of the event. Specific details will be sent to you prior to the event. Volunteer registration will close on Wednesday, December 27 2023, at 11:30pm.
Thank you so much for sharing your time and skills to support this Adapted Ice Skate event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Nick Johnson at njohnson1@arlingtonva.us or 703-228-4734.
