Ajax relies on parent volunteers to keep our activities running smoothly and our young people thriving. Every family is expected to take on a “parental responsibility” as per the commitment forms that were signed when joining Group.
What’s the commitment? These are ongoing roles where you’ll be part of a team that gets things done, not just coordinating from the side-lines. Every family either needs to join a committee or team to enable the Group to function. Or find a role within the Group where they can make a contribution. With all parents actively involved, nobody is unduly burdened and the time commitment is not excessive. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the skills, we provide training and support every step of the way..
Here are details of the teams for which you can sign up:
