Parent volunteers play an integral role in the day-to-day operations of Dreamfar. We are sure you have heard that “it takes a village” and at Dreamfar that sentiment rings true. Each season we have approximately twenty Saturdays of training runs that rely on parent volunteers to operate so that all of our runners can get the nutrition they need as they train together. Stationed at pre-determined intervals along the course our runners can anticipate where they will find the next station, loud cheering, and even a hug or high five from a parent!

Our parents also play a vital role in helping ensure that our student athletes are able to participate in social events to celebrate their achievements. Periodically during the season our students, mentors, and leaders will gather after a long run for some needed downtime, snacks, socializing, and to be, well kids for while.

It is our expectation that each student’s parents or guardians volunteer in some capacity for one event each season. Whether it’s staffing a water stop, providing food and drink for a social, or helping to organize our storage space our largely volunteer organization could always use a few more hands to make each day better.

If you are already a parent you can sign up to help on Saturday by registering online to help out. If you have other skills that you think could be helpful in the development of our organization please reach out to us admin@dreamfarhsm.org.
