AYSO is a volunteer-run organization. Coaches, referees and administrators are volunteers. Parents, neighbors, relatives and friends lend their time and talents so that each child gets a terrific AYSO experience. AYSO is a family experience. As an AYSO volunteer, a parent gets to participate with their child and teach the values of giving back to the community. Sometimes it's the whole family with parents, siblings and grandparents all getting in on the act.
Volunteering should be a fun and fulfilling experience for you. It's a chance to learn something new, or an opportunity to use the skills you already have. Start out by finding a position or task that interests you. If it's a little more of a time commitment than you can offer, find another parent who can share the responsibility of giving back to the community.
Remember.... AYSO is a 100% Volunteer-Run Organization
We can't make it work without you!
There is something for everyone! Join the fun and show your children how to be a part of a successful volunteer program. Many volunteers are needed to uphold the spirit of AYSO and to make this all-volunteer league possible. Take a minute to read through the position descriptions to decide how you'd like to help out.
Instead of grumbling about how "someone" ought to do this or that better – when the registration volunteer asks what you'd like to do – volunteer to be that "someone" when signing up your child! You can be a front-line team volunteer, a the "behind the scenes" division volunteer positions, or you can become one of the Board of Directors and Staff who keep things running and worry about details from AYSO National to our local politicians. Everyone is a volunteer.
Every team must provide:

If after looking at this list of AYSO volunteer jobs and tasks, you are still too busy to take on a volunteer position but want to help - ask around. Someone always needs help making copies, dropping off flyers to schools or manning a registration table for a couple of hours. There is always something you can offer to help your team or your Region.
