We have nearly 100 volunteers annually, including students, professionals, retirees, winter enthusiasts, outdoor ambassadors, teachers, and more who help strengthen our programs, both in the community and at the office.
We offer a variety of volunteer opportunities, including one-time and recurring, community service, and group projects. WinterKids welcomes volunteers of all ages and abilities who are enthusiastic about keeping kids healthy by getting them outside and active in the winter and year-round.
Volunteers Needed to Assemble Winter Games Toolkits
We’re gearing up 10,000 students across the state with PLAYBooks and weekly incentives to complete the WinterKids Winter Games and are in need of volunteer teams to help assemble toolkits throughout November and December.
If your organization encourages employees to give back to the community, this is a great opportunity for individuals and teams to help!
General Office Support
Location: WinterKids HQ
Producing our full season of events with our small team sometimes means we could use a hand around the office. We occasionally put out a call for basic administrative office support.
WinterKids Downhill 24
Location: Sugarloaf Mountain, Carrabassett Valley, ME
Event Date: February 27-28, 2025
The WinterKids Downhill 24 takes place at Sugarloaf Mountain, one of the largest ski resorts in New England. It’s a community team fundraising event where participants ski, snowboard, or skin Sugarloaf’s slopes for 24 consecutive hours to raise funds for WinterKids’ programs. Our volunteers’ dedication and hard work leading up to and during this epic event make all the difference. We could never pull off an event of this scale without them!
Event opportunities include various in-person support positions at the event, happening February 27-28, 2025, at Sugarloaf Mountain in Carrabassett Valley. There will also be in-office support opportunities (at WinterKids HQ in Westbrook) in preparing participant materials leading up to the event.
