Overview

The ORCV relies on volunteers to support its objectives and there are many recognized roles for assistance within the framework of the organisation's activities.

In February 2016, the General Committee agreed to appoint a Volunteer Sub-Committee to help formalise a policy that encapsulates the spirit of volunteering, provides training where required for activities, an opportunity for feedback and ensures we meet the expectations of our volunteers.

We value your contribution and encourage you to assist with two activities per calendar year so we can spread the load. Check out the ORCV calendar here.

New volunteers will be provided with a buddy for activities, training materials and general information regarding day, date, time, venue, what to bring and what help is required from you.

It is a great way to meet people involved in Ocean Racing activities, make friends, share knowledge and feel rewarded for your input.
