Youth Programs
The program runs for 2 hours in the morning (10am-12pm) and afternoon (1-3pm), for 8 weeks during January and February. Volunteer coaches attend a morning or afternoon session. Even if you can only attend a limited number of Saturdays, your assistance would be greatly appreciated and will allow us to continue offering this fun program for our children.
A vulnerable sector police check (VSC) or attestation is required, and task instructions are provided for you onsite the day(s) you volunteer. There will be some additional training, and forms, for all volunteers to complete this season and information will be supplied once board approval has been established. These additional steps are due to new and important policies that have been introduced by Nordiq Canada (via XCSO).
Please consider signing up through the KN ivolunteer platform.
Membership and Youth Program registration will open this year on October 10 at 7:00 pm. Updated information has been posted to our membership and program pages (Youth Programs, KN Ski Team, and Leadership Program) and you are encouraged to review ahead of registration.

Kawartha Nordic has partnered with Lakefield College School to offer a number of races in the coming weeks, and we could really use your assistance.
Races are exciting to watch and even more exciting to be a part of. Most roles involve simple, clear tasks and no experience, plus training is provided.
If you might be interested, please check out our iVolunteer pages for more details on roles and shifts to see if this may work for you.
