Volunteer at Sail Sand Point!
Join us Saturday, April 1st from 9AM to 3PM for our Spring Volunteer Work Party! RSVP Here!
Sail Sand Point thrives on the enthusiasm, time, and expertise donated by our community. Our volunteer program allows anyone to get involved at SSP, become part of our community, AND earn Open Boating rental time! Volunteers help with a wide variety of projects throughout the year, ranging from facility and boat maintenance to marketing and office assistance.
Anyone interested in volunteering should fill out our adult application form which will create an online volunteer account. (Youth Summer Camp Volunteers: use this form!) Once you have an account and are approved by SSP staff, you will be able to view volunteer opportunities, sign up for shifts, and log your hours! By filling out the application form, volunteers (18+) grant Sail Sand Point permission to run a Washington State background check to ensure the safety of our program participants, volunteers, users, and staff. No training or sailing experience is necessary to participate! Some volunteer areas or special events may require training which Sail Sand Point will provide.
Once enrolled, volunteers may donate their time to ongoing projects or participate in one-day events, as often as they’d like. In return, volunteers receive one hour of Open Boating rental time for every three hours of volunteer service.
*Note* Logging your hours not only benefits you, it also supports Sail Sand Point ‘s annual Public Benefit which helps to offset operating costs for the organization. You can log hours online or in-person in the office.
Already have a Volunteer Impact account? Log in and submit hours here!
OR add the My Impact app to your phone and log your hours on the go!
All volunteers need to have a current participant agreement on file at SSP. You can sign one here.
