Oakton, VA.
There are many ways to volunteer. Please see the links to the left for
descriptions of all the job types. Our team is required to fill the
Pre/Post Season Support at Sandy Run and Regatta Jobs on this page.
Also we need help with the Pasta Dinner Hosts/Food Prep
and Beach Parents. Thanks to all our team support volunteers.
Jump to lists of who has signed up for jobs: Beach Parent, Pre/Post Season Support, Regattas
Pasta dinners are held the night before certain regattas, after Friday
water practices. We need homes to host the rowers and 3
families per Dinner to prepare food.
Also, the
team needs parents to man the Oakton Snack Stand near the
boathouse during regattas.
Please contact our VP for Hospitality
(see description of that
position) to sign up for pasta
dinners and Snack Stand.

Thanks to all our regatta volunteers. Use our sign up form for regatta
positions.
Please review the descriptions of the Regatta Jobs. Select any open slot
available. 'DONE' indicates until you are released by the VASRA
staff.
You must report at the sign-in stand a half an hour
before the job starts. The sign-in stand is near the buildings across from
our boathouse. Please make sure you are available for whatever job you
sign up for.
Any no-shows cost the club a $50 fine each.
If you want to volunteer at the regattas as a launch driver, you must attend training (if you already had the VASRA/NCASRA training it still counts). Training consists of a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday at Sandy Run on one of Oakton's launches by our Club. No cost. Sign up will be forthcoming.
