Rent N Roll is meant to be "self serve" where skaters pull their gear, and put it back where they found it.

With so many people using it, league wide, there is a need for one or two people who are in the hangar on a weekly basis to help ensure the equipment is being maintained and the gear is put away in a way that it can be found again the next time.

Ideally this would be lead by one or two people who have been trained by the Rent N Roll Manager, but is open to anyone else who may wish to volunteer while in the hangar.

Here is a quick overview of the cage and the program. By responding to this opportunity you'll be contacted for the next training date so you can have all the info you need to teach others!

Development at RCR makes sure we have the strong community relationships and monetary support we need to keep you rolling year after year.

Development runs a broad range of revenue building projects, so there are a lot of opportunities for sharing your expertise, learning, honing skills, and supporting RCR! We research and write grants, manage donor databases and communications using Little Green Light, cultivate sponsors, craft fundraising appeals and events, and build corporate partnerships. 

While most of our work is behind the scenes, the results are often very visible! Funding for things like our Skatemobile free afterschool youth programs, the Rent 'n' Roll Gear Lending Library, our coach training curriculum, and our robust youth and adult scholarship programs all came from or are sustained by development efforts!

There are so many opportunities for real-life, professional skill-building with RCR's Development branch. Best of all, most of these opportunities can be accessed from the comfort of your own home!

Please respond to this opportunity once and begin logging your hours weekly under this opportunity name.
