Volunteers Needed
If you are a volleyball parent, love the game of volleyball, or just want to serve at Heritage, we are looking for volunteers to be line judges, run the scoreboard, and work concessions at our volleyball games. All the jobs are easy to learn and any training needed before the game can be provided. If you like to volunteer, please use the sign-up genius link below. High school students can also volunteer in any of these roles for silver cord hours.
