Volunteer

Resident and Associate member volunteer policy

Volunteering at the Detroit Skating Club serves a vital purpose in continuing activities at our club such as test sessions, the used skate sale, Skate Detroit, Sunshine Skate and the beautification of our venue. It also creates a better sense of involvement and pride in your family’s second home.

Requirement per family: 12 volunteer hours per year

Effective for the 2023-2024 skating season, you will have the following options at membership renewal:

  • Select $600 ($50/volunteer hour) pay out option per family (located under the donation tab)
  • Select opt in with completion of volunteer hours by May 10, 2024. Proper validation of completed volunteer hours needs to be submitted to the main office to Marrianne Swift (mswift@dscclub.com) by May 10, 2024 or a $600 volunteer fee will be assessed prior to renewal of the following year’s membership.
