Volunteer
Overview
What It Means To get Involved | Volunteer With ORDA:
Imagine the big events, national and international competitions, up close and personal that are being televised on the world’s stage. Next, imagine the local events, creating an environment for the next up-and-coming athlete to thrive and explore their passion in sport. We host these events – bobsled, ski jumping, Nordic skiing, hockey, biathlon, figure skating, and more.
We need your help. Our volunteers are vital to the success of these events.
Want to positively impact our community by providing your time and skills to ensure their success? Get involved!
It takes many helping hands to create a safe, fair, and fun event. Together, we create the great experiences our guests and athletes will talk about for years to come.

Types of Volunteer Opportunities
A successful event starts with you – we’re looking for individuals willing to roll up their sleeves and dive in. A variety of opportunities are available, but typically fall into two categories:
- General Volunteer positions which can include Steward, Credential Checker, Parking Lot Attendant, and Ticket Taker.
- Technical Volunteers positions which can include Timing and Scoring, Athlete Chaperoning, and Shuttle Driving.
*Technical volunteer positions are critical to competition success and require some on-the-job training.
