We are always looking for volunteers to be “Energy Champions” on Saturday mornings. The success of Can Too would not be possible without the support of the many people who volunteer their time to help out with the run and swim programs.
The Can Too Energy Champion looks after the energy needs of the group and offer words of encouragement, along with clapping as Can Too’ers return from a distance run or a surf session. The Energy Champion assists with creating and maintaining a nurturing and supportive culture within Can Too.
Tasks:
- Set up a “fuel” station before runners or swimmers return
- Mind the Can Too swimmers bags
- Hand out snacks and Powerade sports drinks at the end of the Saturday surf session to everybody on the team.
- Offer words of encouragement at the end of the session and “check in” with people.
- Assist with the purchase of Can Too Merchandise
Saturday run sessions: The start time for the Saturday sessions is 7:30am – this session starts out being about an hour and then gets progressively longer as the runs increase. It would be a huge benefit to the group if the Energy Champion could position themselves along the course during these longer distances to provide moral support given that people are stretching themselves both physical and mentally!!!
Saturday surf sessions: The start time for the Saturday sessions varies depending on the location – this session takes about an hour and a half.
If you are able to help out once a fortnight or once a month that would be fantastic and/or even if you could volunteer for the race day celebrations.
