Some might include, but are not limited to: high school and/or college students, teachers, figure skaters, hockey players, business owners/managers, human service professionals, therapists, nurses and other professionals.

Volunteers are expected to complete the season with their paired skater, making every effort to be present each week, and assist your skater in showing off their hard work during the ice show. Afterall, it is only a 25-hour commitment for the entire season!
