WHY VOLUNTEER?
VOLUNTEERS ARE THE LIFE-LINE OF SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS
The Club could not exist without the efforts of all those individuals who are coaches, conveners, managers, trainers and volunteers. It takes a tremendous effort to accomplish all that must be done in order to sustain a successful soccer program.
Soccer as a sport has a tremendous social impact. It’s important in our culture, traditions and identity of our community. As a community based club, TWFC and its volunteers are a major contributor to the health, social and economic life of our community.
VOLUNTEERING IS THE KEY TO A HEALTHY COMMUNITY
As people search for ways to enrich their lives, many do so by giving their personal time and skills to the community and community based sports organizations. Our volunteers offer a wide range of activities, and assume a number of responsibilities at all levels in our club having a profound affect on the soccer experience of thousands of our young athletes.
VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION
TWFC and the Club Leadership Team appreciate the time and effort that volunteers contribute to the club and the youth in our community. As such, TWFC strives to provide volunteers with the necessary tools and support in order to be successful.
Each year, we present the Warrior Memorial Plaque to an outstanding volunteer within our club.
