VOLUNTEER FEES
2023/2024 VOLUNTEER FEES-
Rangers relies heavily on the support of volunteers to help us achieve our mission and provide value to all members. However, we have been experiencing difficulties in recruiting volunteers for our programs over the last year. We initially set our volunteer fees at a lower price of $100.00, hoping to make it more accessible for everyone to participate in our programs. Unfortunately, we did not get enough volunteers at that price to support our programs effectively.
-
After careful consideration, we have decided to raise the volunteer fee to continue to provide quality programs and services. We understand that this may cause inconvenience to some families, and we apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. However, we believe that the higher fee will encourage more participation and allow us to recruit more volunteers to support our programs. We also want to assure you that the fees collected will be used to cover program costs and expenses, such as field maintenance, equipment, supplies, and Gala planning.
-
We also want to let you know that volunteers who participate in our programs will have the opportunity to earn back their volunteer fee. Volunteers who complete 10 hours of service may be eligible for a full fee refund. We hope that this incentive will encourage more families to participate and support our programs.
