Volunteering
Make sure you come along to our Volunteer Induction Mornings to find out more – at 10am on the first Saturday of every month.
Email: volunteers@rqys.com.au if you would like to attend.
If you want to get out on the bay and help coordinate our world standard regattas, we will help by providing you with the means to become certified race officials. RQYS will not only assist with the required courses, but we do so from one of the world’s most beautiful class rooms – Moreton Bay.
If however you are simply looking for a social network and to volunteer your time, we are always looking for more volunteers to help with off water positions.
Our Aim
- Have Fun
- Provide superior race management for our competitions
- Maintain and enhance the Squadron’s reputation for race management
- Utilise our skills and develop our abilities
- Achieve personal goals and ambitions
- Attain qualifications relevant to our roles
- Contact us today for further information on how to support our local sailors
There are a number of areas within the RQYS organisation which require volunteer input, including Sailing Volunteers (who staff general sailing events such as Wednesday and Thursday night sailing, weekend sailing, and regattas or competitions); Sailing Academy Instructors; the Works Committee (providing assistance with an annual clean up of the Squadron and Canaipa grounds, equipment and facilties); and helping out with social activities, which are organised several times a year.
This page details some of the roles you could experience as a Sailing Volunteer. We are very keen to hear from anyone interested in becoming a volunteer, and will try our best to find a role for you depending on your interests.
