Open Positions
Director of Programming and Volunteering (see our information package on our website for more information on our programs)
The BTC offers a number of programs. Some of them are provided by paid NTS staff (e.g. stroke of the week), others are run entirely by volunteers (e.g. the house league coordinator and the four captains, the junior Sunday school drop-in), while finally others are made possible by a mix of paid and volunteer staff (e.g. junior after-school program). The Club also rely on volunteers for their spring and fall clean-up and to help to run special events, including the Phil LeBlanc Memorial Tournament (PLMT) and Ontario Tennis Association tournaments. These events are most successful when they are supported by a large group of volunteers.
The Director of Programming and Volunteering will be responsible for the following:
- make sure the club has proper staff (volunteer and paid as appropriate) to run our existing BTC programs, spring and fall cleanup, and various BTC special events such as the Phil LeBlanc Memorial Tournament);
- recommend new programs for the BTC;
- update before the beginning of each year the program information in the information booklet.
By assuming one of these volunteer positions, you will contribute to making the Barrhaven Tennis Club a better tennis organization. You will also get to work with a vibrant and engaged Executive.
