There are plenty of tasks available to match your skillset or preference - everything from gardening, supporting regattas, and maintaining the grounds or boats. A full list of eligible volunteer tasks can be found on Better Impact. If you have a task that you think should be added to our list of eligible tasks, please contact volunteer@sailohcc.ca

OHCC uses Better Impact (LINK) to manage volunteer activities. At the beginning of each sailing season, each member is provided with their own user ID and password. Members who join later in the season are also provided with access codes as part of their induction package.
All of the tasks are set up on Better Impact providing members with the ability to sign up for and record hours at their leisure. Most tasks can be done on dates and times convenient to you. A document with instructions on how to use the system can be found by clicking the button below!
Better Impact system is managed by our volunteer coordinator Brooke. If you have questions or concerns with Better Impact please contact Brooke at volunteer@sailohcc.ca. Please consult the “STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE” below prior to contacting Brooke.
