About Volunteering

Volunteers at DinoMights enable us to multiply our impact on urban youth!

Coaches and tutors help us provide pivotal academic instruction, hockey assistance, and most importantly mentoring relationships.
We also have opportunities for small groups and individuals to help with periodic projects like Greg Carroll Learn 2 Skate and ongoing administrative tasks.
Or if you'd like to donate your professional skills to build DinoMights' capacity to serve urban youth, we would love to talk to you about partnering with you or your organization!

In 2016-17 there were over 40 coaches, tutors, and mentors involved in the program. Coaching and tutoring volunteers receive training and follow-up assistance from the program staff at the beginning and throughout the year. DinoMights hosts a Fall Training and Orientation Day and team development for all of our volunteers and staff to prepare in the areas of academic tutoring and hockey instruction for the year.

"I signed up to be a coach for Hockey in the Hood camp as my 'community service' project for the year. Nine years later, I'm still here. I think DinoMights has done more for me than I've done for them."
