Help with Sailing Classes and Equipment

ASF Volunteer Opportunities

The Arizona Sailing Foundation (ASF) – a local, non-profit sailing school, needs volunteers and assistance with adult and junior sailing programs. If interested, please contact ASF at arizonasailingfoundation@gmail.com

Volunteers are needed in these roles:

• Instructors: provide both classroom and on-the-water instruction to sailing students. Must have a current US Sailing Level 1 Small Boat Instructor certificate (ASF can help with additional required certifications such as CPR and First Aid, SafeSport, etc.).
• Coaches: directly work with students under the direction of an Instructor to reinforce classroom lessons. Coaches ride along in student crewed C-14.2s and may also assist from the ASF pontoon boat.
• Assistants: help with duties at the direction of Instructors and Coaches, including towing sailboats up and down the boat ramp, launching/retrieving student sailboats at the dock, and general student engagement, assistance, and well-being.
• Coordination / Administration: assist Instructors in organizing, coordinating, and communicating classes. Assist as needed aboard the ASF pontoon boat, including photographing student sailing activities for updates on the AYC website.
• Equipment & Boatyard Support: assist with maintenance and repairs to student boats and trailers, and with overall boatyard organization and activities.
• Board of Directors: The board is typically made up of AYC members. See the current ASF Board members here.
